Shreya Verma, a private company employee and resident of Old Madras Road, and her friend, Gaurav Sharma, also a private company employee and resident of Banashankari, were on their way towards Garuda Mall. The duo had plans to shop for the wedding of Shreya's cousin when their two-wheeler ran into the autorickshaw. The autorickshaw driver, R Ramesh, also stood in their path. Gaurav asked Ramesh to make away but the latter replied with a punch on Gaurav's face. Shreya immediately went to her friend's rescue only to be slapped and abused by Ramesh.

Ramesh continued to rain blows on Gaurav. Shreya saw two policemen approaching, ran up to them and asked for help. The constables, attached to the Wilson Garden police station, wasted no time and rushed to Gaurav's help. "Immediately, we took the erring driver into our custody and filed a case on him," Anil Kumar, inspector, Wilson Garden told TOI. "I was riding to the extreme left and requested Ramesh to give way. Instead, he abused and attacked me," Gaurav told TOI.

Shreya decided to intervene thinking that the arrogant driver may come to his senses while dealing with a woman. "But I was wrong. He not only attacked me, but also used filthy language. That's when I decided to teach him a lesson," Shreya said.
