# Cross-FIRs filed in Dadar road rage, both sides allege assault 2026-08-25T01:16:44+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Cross-FIRs have been registered at Dadar police station after a road-rage incident near Agar bazaar in Dadar West on Sunday night. A scooterist allegedly cut in front of an SUV carrying a family returning from Grant Road after visiting a Ganpati idol around 9 pm, sparking an argument. Purva Phutak (28) alleged in her complaint that she and her companions were abused and assaulted by a group of women and a man, with unidentified persons joining the attack. The other group filed a counter-complaint alleging they too were assaulted. Police have registered both FIRs and are investigating. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Cross-FIRs of this kind are common in Mumbai road-rage cases, where police register complaints from both sides as a standard investigative step until CCTV footage or witness statements clarify events. The Dadar area has seen similar incidents, with local traffic police often stepping in to mediate. The outcome now depends on the investigation's findings, which typically include checks on mobile tower data, nearby shop cameras, and statements from independent witnesses. A chargesheet or closure report will follow once the OIC determines which side's account is supported by evidence, though settlement between the parties is also possible. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Straight factual report of cross-complaints without editorialising, leading with the time, place and basic allegations from both sides.
