A 28-year-old man died after allegedly hanging off his friend’s moving car following a violent altercation after a cricket tournament in Bengaluru, police said. The dispute, which reportedly escalated after the two had been drinking, turned fatal when he tried to stop the vehicle by holding onto its door, with the driver allegedly crashing into a tree while driving rashly.
The incident occurred on Sunday night. The victim was identified as Prashanth, a resident of Hebbagodi, while his friend, Roshan Hegde (27), was behind the wheel.
Police said the dispute began after their cricket team lost a local tournament and did not end at the ground. According to officials, the argument continued later in the evening as the two consumed alcohol.
As per a complaint filed by Prashanth’s mother, the situation took a critical turn when Roshan attempted to leave in his car.
Prashanth allegedly tried to stop him by holding onto the left window of the moving vehicle. As Roshan drove off, the car veered off the road and crashed into a tree.
The impact left Prashanth with severe injuries. He was rushed to a hospital but succumbed to his injuries on the way.
