‘They fed me a samosa’: Bengaluru CEO uses Gemini, dash cam to trick bikers on road | Today’s news
When the Bengaluru CEO found himself on the receiving end of a violent incident on the road, he turned to an unconventional legal advisor: Google’s AI tool, Gemini.
In X’s post, Siddharth Dialani shared that he used the AI platform to write a strongly worded police complaint and secure formal confirmation, eventually forcing the aggressive biker to apologize and pay for damages.

A biker’s intimidation tactic
According to Dialani, the incident took place between Sony and Ejipura city signals.
Sharing an account of the incident, Dialani said a motorcyclist traveling with his wife mistakenly believed that the CEO’s car hit his two-wheeler.
As the situation escalated, the motorcyclist forced Dialani to stop, violently kicked the side of his car and then deliberately rear-ended the vehicle. “He forced me to stop the car, kicked the side gate violently, got on his bike and crashed into my car from behind.
“Because it wasn’t enough for him, he overtook and braked to intimidate me,” Dialani recounted. The aggressive driver did not know that the entire ordeal was recorded by the car’s dash cam.

At first, Dialani was inclined to let the matter go for his own peace of mind, but after noticing a deep dent on his car, he changed his mind. Realizing that a lesson needed to be taught, the CEO approached the Koramangala police station armed with video footage.
“He kicked the side of the car so hard! I originally thought I’d let it go for my peace of mind. But looking at the dent, I felt a lesson had to be learned!” shared.
To ensure his complaint was dealt with efficiently, Dialani used Gemini to write a formal complaint. AI strategically advised him to request a written confirmation of submission from the authorities.
“The police realized I wasn’t going to leave without a copy of the receipt,” noted Dialani.
The Koramangala police cooperated, using dashcam footage to identify the motorcyclist’s vehicle number and trace his phone number through their database.
While waiting for the culprit to be summoned, the police even offered the CEO a samosa, which Dialani jokingly compared to a movie scene. “They fed me a samosa (just like in the movies) while they were looking for the rowdy biker who crashed into my car.”

“The Power of the Dash Camera”
After arriving at the station, the biker first tried to shift the blame, accusing Dialani of hitting the bike first. However, dashcam photos and the looming threat of an FIR and criminal case quickly made him realize the gravity of his actions.
The matter was quickly closed with the biker issuing a written apology and compensating the CEO for the damage to the vehicle.
Dialani praised the Koramangala police for their professional conduct and stressed that the entire dispute was resolved without a single bribe. In view of the successful outcome and solid AI advice, the CEO declared, “Gemini is now my lawyer!”
