Chaos Erupts at Key Bengaluru Intersection
A man was detained by police after creating significant disturbance at Mehkri Circle in Bengaluru on Tuesday, November 17, 2025. The incident caused disruption to traffic flow and escalated when the individual allegedly assaulted a traffic police officer who attempted to intervene.
Traffic Policeman Manhandled During Intervention
According to police reports, the situation began when the man started causing a ruckus at the busy intersection. A traffic policeman on duty approached the individual to calm the situation and restore order. However, instead of cooperating, the man allegedly turned violent and physically assaulted the officer.
The confrontation drew attention from bystanders and created additional traffic complications at the already busy circle. Witnesses reported seeing the altercation escalate quickly, with the man refusing to comply with the officer's instructions.
