In a case of road rage, two city-based scooterists allegedly abused and threatened an Ahmednagar-based judge near Nilayam theatre recently.

The Dattawadi police have arrested the duo, who were later released on bail by a city court.

Police inspector Ashok Kshirsagar told DNA that a complaint was lodged by judicial magistrate (first class) Ajay Ashok Bhatewara (28) of Ahmednagar.

According to the police, the judge and his wife were heading towards Ganesh Kala Krida Manch at Swargate from Mhatre Bridge near Nal Stop for a programme.

Bhatewara was driving the car. After reaching Lal Bahadur Shastri Road, the couple reached the chowk near Nilayam theatre.

The judge said the signal turned green and the traffic was moving slowly.

He was in the middle of a traffic junction when the signal turned red.

The scooterists identified as Virendra Mohan Gawali and his brother Vikram, both residents of Balajinagar, landed in front of the judge's car at around 7.30 pm.

The youths, both students of a city college, asked the judge if he was blind. They allegedly abused and charged at the judge who had alighted from the car and an altercation followed.

The two students were arrested as the judge insisted on filing a complaint.

They were arrested and later released on bail by a city court.
