A man was allegedly dragged for nearly 500 metres on the bonnet of a moving car in Mysuru following a dispute with his debtor over repayment of money, in an incident that was caught on camera.
Visuals from the scene showed a man clinging to the bonnet of a red Maruti Suzuki Baleno as the vehicle sped through the busy corridor from the Sub-Registrar’s office near Andolana Circle to the Kuvempunagar Police Station road.
According to preliminary information, Mahadev, who had allegedly lent money to a man identified as Dhananjay, approached him seeking repayment when a heated argument broke out between the two.
As the altercation escalated, Dhananjay allegedly attempted to flee the spot in his car. In an apparent attempt to stop him, Mahadev reportedly jumped onto the bonnet and held on tightly. However, instead of stopping the vehicle, the driver allegedly continued driving at speed with Mahadev hanging precariously from the front of the car.
The visuals of the incident have since gone viral on social media, drawing widespread attention.
Police have launched an inquiry into the matter and are examining the footage as part of the investigation.
