Bilal Khan Claims Self-Defense in Bandra Road Rage Case

A road rage incident in Bandra has taken a new turn, with alleged accused Bilal Khan claiming that he acted in self-defense. The incident occurred on August 9 near Bandra Talao in Bandra West, around 12.15 am.

According to Khan, fitness trainer Arjunjit Garewal rammed his car three times before the confrontation. Khan alleged that Garewal first hit his vehicle while overtaking and drove away, and later rammed it twice more. He claimed he then chased and stopped Garewal’s vehicle to question him about the damage and seek compensation.

Khan also claimed that when both vehicles stopped, Garewal allegedly stepped out carrying a bamboo stick or wooden rod and initiated the physical confrontation. Khan claimed he reacted out of fear and had no intention of attacking Garewal. He also displayed injuries on his hand and claimed he too was hurt.

The incident was reported by Garewal, who alleged that three unidentified men attacked him following a road-rage incident. One allegedly attempted to assault him with a steel baseball bat, while another allegedly smashed the windows of his Mahindra Thar SUV with a hockey stick while his wife was inside.
