Two arrested for ramming their cars into each other in Andhra

Two friends turned foes were arrested in NTR District for indulging in road rage by crashing their cars into each other, police said on Saturday.

Police arrested Lingamaneni Rohit (19) and Bolla Om (21) for creating a ruckus in the middle of Hi Tension Road at Gurunanak Colony in Patamata area of Vijayawada on Thursday night. Videos of the road rage went viral.

''We have arrested Rohit and Om for road rage. The dispute erupted after Rohit spoke ill about Om with a Hyderabad-based girl, leading to a misunderstanding between them,'' a police official told PTI.

According to police, both of them were not on talking terms for a month. On Thursday, they decided to meet and sort things out. Both of them reached Hi Tension Road and started ramming each other's black sports utility vehicles, which resulted in their cars getting damaged. However, both of them refrained from engaging in physical fight.

Following the road rage videos going viral, police arrested the duo and produced them in a local court, which remanded them. Currently, both are lodged in Vijayawada jail, police said.

They were arrested under BNS Section 109 (attempt to murder) and other offences such as nuisance, rash and negligent driving and others, they added.
