Bengaluru Girls and Auto Driver Clash Over Fare Dispute in HSR Layout
A video showing two girls and an auto-rickshaw driver getting into a physical fight following an alleged fare dispute in Bengaluru’s HSR Layout has gone viral on social media.
The incident reportedly took place in the Third Sector of HSR Layout. The video shows the group arguing on the roadside before the dispute escalates into a physical confrontation. The people involved are seen hitting each other, while another woman later intervenes and appears to stop the fight.
The video was shared on X by the account Ghar Ke Kalesh, which claimed the altercation was related to a fare issue.
According to a Times of India report, HSR Layout police contacted the girls and asked them to file a complaint. They reportedly requested a day or two to decide whether to approach the police.
Police also traced the auto driver. He allegedly told officers that the girls had hired his auto but later argued with him over the fare. He further alleged that they were under the influence of alcohol, abused him and refused to pay.
A senior police officer said necessary action would be taken if the girls filed a complaint.
The authenticity of the viral video and the auto driver’s allegations could not be independently verified.
The incident has triggered mixed reactions on social media, with users discussing Bengaluru’s auto-rickshaw fare disputes, road altercations and public behaviour.
