“The caller alleged that following a minor collision between his WagonR and a white Maruti Ertiga taxi, the taxi driver attempted to assault him with a stick. In self-defence, the caller reportedly pushed the taxi driver, who fell against a parked Kia Seltos, causing minor damage to the vehicle. The owner of the Kia Seltos stopped the caller seeking compensation, while the taxi driver allegedly fled the scene,” a police officer said.
PCR personnel reached the spot, where the caller informed them that the taxi driver had already left.
The caller and the owner of the Kia Seltos subsequently resolved the matter, the officer also said.
The caller later told police that he had returned home, the matter had been settled mutually, and that he did not wish to pursue any legal action, the officer added.
Police also said that footage from CCTV cameras installed in the area are being examined to ascertain the identity of the taxi driver and verify the sequence of events.
