The video triggered widespread reactions, with many users expressing concerns over increasing road rage incidents in the city. Some commended the police for their prompt response, while others called for stricter penalties for offenders.

One user remarked, "Good job, Bengaluru Police. The entire auto driver community in the city has become a menace. They are equally rude to locals and immigrants alike."

Another user praised the authorities, saying, "In this city of turmoil, swift action like this gives us a sigh of relief. Please remain firm and determined in the interest of the common man. Big salute."

However, some urged stricter measures beyond mere arrests. A user suggested, "Tweak the laws and impound their vehicles. Apprehending them and letting them out on bail won't help."

Another user questioned whether the police would have acted similarly had the incident not been recorded, "If there was no mobile recording of the assault, and the vehicle owner complained to the nearest police station, would you have taken similar action?"
