Sukruth Keshav Gowda, a software engineer from Kodigehalli in Bengaluru, withdrew his plea challenging criminal proceedings related to a road rage incident after a stern warning from the Karnataka High Court. The court highlighted that road rage cannot be overlooked and that Bengaluru's notorious traffic should teach patience. The incident occurred on October 26, 2025, when Gowda's car allegedly collided with a scooter carrying a couple and their child, resulting in injuries.
