A local Udupi resident and a group of tourists clashed near the famous Udupi beach after a quarrel over granting right‑of‑way to a vehicle. The skirmish erupted when the man, trying to allow a tourist to pass, met resistance from the visitors, who demanded the road be cleared.
The interchange is a busy thoroughfare that sees increased traffic during peak tourist season, leading to frequent disputes over road rules. Earlier incidents in the area have highlighted the need for clearer signage and better traffic management to prevent such altercations.
