Family dispute resulted in violent road rage incident in Thane district on 2024-08-20 evening

A violent confrontation (road rage), reportedly stemming from a family dispute, took place at Chikholi area on the Kalyan-Badlapur Road in Thane district of Maharashtra near S3 Park Hotel on Tuesday 2024-08-20 evening.

In the video which has gone viral, Satish Kumar Sharma (38) seen driving a black coloured Tata Safari SUV rammed into the door of his father's white coloured Toyota Fortuner SUV, before taking a U-turn and striking his father's white SUV head-on, injuring four persons including three family members aboard the white car.

The reason behind Satish Sharma's fury was a domestic dispute. Satish had suspected that his wife and his cousin Pravin were in an illicit relationship. This led to a tiff between Satish and Pravin, following which his wife decided to live with her in-laws in south Mumbai.

Satish Sharma's father, a retired Navy official, drove to Badlapur on Tuesday to resolve the dispute and also to take along his daughter-in-law and six-year-old grandson with him to his own south Mumbai residence. This infuriated Satish even more. He started a heated argument with his father and Pravin's brother Vikas. The argument had turned into a scuffle at home. 

Later, Satish's wife and son left Badlapur for south Mumbai with Satish's father. While they were at Chikholi, a furious Satish kept following his father and crashed his Safari against his father's Fortuner. 

Police arrested Sharma on charges of attempted murder and under other relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita and produced him before a local court on Wednesday. Following this, Sharma was sent to police custody till August 23. 

The Maharashtra Motor Vehicles Department (MMVD) will initiate procedure to cancel Satish's driving license once the police probe is over.

Roadrage killed Ramesh Behl (65) in Bhowanipore, Kolkata on 2019-10-17

Ramesh Behl, the 64-year-old co-director of private security firm Dark's Security Consultant lost his life for raising his voice against honking outside his residence at Bakulbagan Road, Bhowanipore in the heart of south Kolkata on Thursday, 20019-10-17 afternoon. Angered by the protest, the accused who was possibly the owner-cum-driver of another car shoved and slapped the elderly man who lost his balance and fell. His head struck the kerb stone on the edge of the pavement and he lost his consciousness, never to regain it.

Behl had stepped out of his Bhowanipore residence at Bakulbagan and was about to board his grey coloured Toyota Innova SUV when the incident took place around 1.10pm.

The accused slapped and pushed him. Behl then fell down and became unconscious. He was rushed to a nursing home where he was declared brought dead.
Behl was on his way to his office at Park Towers on Ballygunge Circular Road and his driver took his Innova to the Bakulbagan Road-Ramesh Mitra Road crossing close to the Kalighat Telephone Exchange. He was about to board it when a red hatchback came up from behind and started honking. Within a second, the driver hit the mud-guard of the Innova. Behl protested.
“Gari khada hain. Dhakka kyun mara? (The car is stationary. Why did you hit it?)” he asked. “The driver of the car initially said sorry but as soon as Behl moved away, he started honking again,” Bahl’s driver told police.
Bahl protested again. “This time, the driver of the car came out and after a heated exchange, the accused slapped Behl. The 64-year-old fell on the edge of the footpath and his head hit the kerb stone at the edge of the pavement. Seeing this, the accused jumped into his car and fled. Behl’s driver rushed to inform his family, who shifted him to Heath Point Nursing Home barely less than 10 minutes away. At the hospital, he was declared dead,” said an investigating officer.

The Bhowanipore police have registered a case under IPC section 304 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder). “Our investigation so far has revealed that the accused was practising law in a court in the city. Behl’s driver and CCTV footages have helped in identifying the accused driver. The accused is presently absconding. We are raiding several places to nab him,” said joint CP M Sharma. The last four digits of the hatchback has been identified as 5443.
Investigators said they are using the driver’s statement as the primary witness. “Based on his complaint, we have registered an FIR. We have asked our forensic team to collect blood samples from the spot,” said an officer.
