Man with pregnant wife sits on road in protest against Governor’s convoy in Bengaluru

High drama prevailed on Old Airport Road on Sunday (June 1, 2026) when a man travelling with his pregnant wife staged a protest in the middle of the road after being held up in traffic due to a zero-traffic arrangement for Karnataka Governor Thawarchand Gehlot’s convoy.

The incident, which was captured on video and widely shared on social media, drew the attention of motorists and security personnel deployed along the route.

According to eyewitnesses, the man became increasingly agitated after traffic was halted for the Governor’s movement. Claiming that his wife was pregnant and unwell, he got out of his vehicle and sat in the middle of the road, refusing to move despite repeated requests from police personnel.
