The incident, which occurred near the Command Hospital in the Domlur area, involved a high-speed Toyota Fortuner driven by Patel, which lost control and collided with three to four parked vehicles.

The damaged vehicles include those belonging to individuals named Srinivas, Abhishek, and a government vehicle. Alert local residents immediately informed police, prompting a swift response from a patrol team. The actor was promptly detained and a medical examination confirmed alcohol consumption.
