Known for exhibiting unruly behaviour and creating ruckus in Bengaluru, Uganda nationals attacked a cab driver after he refused to take five members due to Covid-19 rules.

The incident happened at 10 pm on Saturday when students of African region booked a cab from Sheraton Hotel in Bengaluru West.
