Following an initial exchange of glances, Kumar turned back and stopped their vehicle before allegedly attacking Bose with a stone. Dutta went on to stated:
He threatened us by saying, ‘You are from DRDO, I can see the sticker. This is Kannada land, I will see you. Just watch what I do.’”
However, CCTV footage of the incident shows that both sides engaged in physical violence. The footage showed Bose striking Kumar multiple times while bystanders tried to intervene.
