Observing that “road rage incidents are on rise, and of late, are also directed against traffic personnel”, the Bombay High Court last month granted temporary bail to a youth so that he can appear for Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) examinations on December 20.

As per a report in The Indian Express, the 22-year-old and his mother were accused of assaulting a woman traffic police constable, who had intercepted their car when it entered a closed road, causing traffic jam and inconveniencing the general public in Pandharpur City on October 22. While granting temporary bail, the HC told the youth to pay Rs 20,000 to the Maharashtra Police Welfare Fund within a week and furnish a personal bond of Rs 15,000.
