A Gurgaon city court on Wednesday granted bail to the four men from West Delhi who were involved in assaulting a group of motorcyclists near the Dwarka Expressway and damaging a high-end bike in an alleged road rage incident on April 20.
The police arrested the four accused, all residents of Uttam Nagar, on April 22 after a viral video showed the men in an SUV assaulting and hurling abuses at the bikers who were en route to Manesar.
The court granted bail to the accused on furnishing a bond of Rs 1 lakh each and a surety of the same amount.
“They were hurling false accusations against me at the court. They brought more than 35 guys with them to try and intimidate me,” one of the victims, Hardik Sharma, 27, who filed the police complaint, told The Indian Express on Thursday.
Sharma, who had come for the hearing, said that one of the accused’s wife alleged that they (bikers) were threatening her after the arrest.
Station House Officer (SHO) Shahid Ahmed of the Sector 37 police station said the police had opposed the bail plea.
The arrested men have been identified as Bhanu Sharma, 33, a gym owner, Deepak Singh, 24, a gym trainer, Pragya Sharma, 23, who leases out cricket grounds, and Rajat Singh, 24.
Sharma, a software developer with a popular food delivery company, had earlier expressed his dissatisfaction with the police for not providing any updates on the case, since the offences invoked against the accused were all bailable.
Meanwhile, Sharma on Thursday posted on Instagram a story uploaded by one of the accused that showed all four of them partying in a pool with a caption in Hindi that translated to: “God knows right and wrong. But we did not get into the comment war; whoever is getting too aggressive, come forward and hit on the chest.”
The video of the incident that prompted calls for action against the accused showed one of the bikers apologising to the men and pleading with them to let him go, but to no avail.
Sharma said his expensive bike was destroyed and alleged that it took him 12 hours to get his complaint accepted.
