A woman in Bengaluru’s Yelahanka New Town was taken into custody after a video surfaced showing her hurling obscene abuses and threats at traffic police officers during a roadside confrontation. The incident occurred on August 14 when traffic personnel stopped her two-wheeler and clamped its wheel.

In the viral footage, the helmeted woman is seen shouting at both a male and female officer, using vulgar language and defending a man with her—reportedly her staff member—while accusing the male officer of touching him. At one point, she told the officer, “B*****d, don’t say anything to my staff", as reported by Times of India. She also threatened the female constable, saying in Hindi, “Kapde utaar ke nanga karungi tujhe” (“I will strip you naked”).

Despite the officers’ attempts to calm her, the tirade continued for over a minute as bystanders watched. The male officer was heard saying that the situation would have been different if not for a woman. He underlined that they were speaking respectfully given her gender.

Yelahanka New Town Police later confirmed on social media platform X that the woman was taken into custody the same day. A case has been registered and a legal probe is in progress.
