Bengaluru, Feb 4 (NationPress) An incident occurred involving a goods-laden auto colliding with the former Indian cricketer Rahul Dravid’s SUV in Bengaluru on Tuesday. An 11-second video that has gone viral captures Dravid engaged in a heated discussion with the auto driver post-collision.
The accident transpired on Tuesday evening along Cunningham Road, a bustling area in Bengaluru. Reports indicate that Dravid was en route from Indian Express Junction to High Grounds when the incident took place. The auto driver reportedly struck Dravid’s vehicle from the rear while it was halted in traffic.
The footage shows Dravid exiting his vehicle, examining the damage, and interrogating the auto driver. The driver explains that the mishap occurred due to the abrupt movement of a Fortuner vehicle ahead of him.
Dravid, visibly annoyed, questions the auto driver in Kannada about his failure to brake on time. The incident happened within the High Grounds Traffic Police Station jurisdiction, but no formal complaint has been filed as of yet.
Further reports reveal that Dravid recorded the auto driver’s contact number before departing the scene. Additional details regarding the incident are still forthcoming.
It remains uncertain whether the accident stemmed from Dravid’s driving or the auto driver’s negligence.
Previously, Rahul Dravid had filed a complaint against a Bengaluru-based company for allegedly defrauding him of Rs 4 crore in March 2018. Although there were reports of various athletes and celebrities being deceived by the firm, Dravid was the first to take legal action.
In his complaint, Dravid claimed he invested Rs 20 crore in the company in 2014 based on promises of substantial returns, yet he had not received back Rs 4 crore to recoup his principal investment, as per police statements.
Dravid has been reimbursed Rs 16 crore, but the remaining Rs 4 crore is still pending. The cricketer has provided documentation to support his claims, according to police. A case has been filed against the company and five individuals.
