Bengaluru: In a horrific incident, a martial arts trainer and his wife allegedly chased and killed a food delivery agent, after victims scooter brushed their car, damaging the vehicle’s rear view mirror.

The incident, which took place on the night of October 25 at Nataraja Layout, has sent shockwaves across the city, with CCTV footage revealing that the couple intentionally rammed their car into the victim’s scooter following a minor brush.

The accused have been identified as Manoj Kumar (32) from Kerala and his wife Aarati Sharma (30) from Jammu and Kashmir. The couple had been married for five years. The deceased, Darshan, was a bachelor from Kembattalli and is survived by his parents and sister, as TOI reported.

As per report, Darshan was on his way to deliver a parcel when he hit the couple’s car mirror at around 9 pm. Darshan apologised and moved ahead as he was on a food delivery run.

Infuriated Manoj, took a u-turn and chased Darshan’s scooter. In a few minutes, he spotted Darshan. Pressing the accelerator, Kumar rammed the car into Darshan’s scooter from behind and sped away. Both Darshan and Varun fell onto the road.

On seeing this, locals rushed Darshan and his pillion rider Varun to the hospital. Doctors declared Darshan dead on arrival.
