What would have been otherwise a non-newsworthy fender-bender quickly turned into a full-blown road rage incident against a female driver in India, all in the presence of a police officer who did nothing to stop it.
Filmed by a bystander on a cell phone, the video shows some angry men kicking the white Maruti Wagon R owned by the woman, before a man takes a kid out of another car and then rams into the tall hatch! The incident reportedly took place on February 25.
The guys over at Motorbeam who tipped us off about this incident, have the backstory:
“Based on the events as described by the vehicle owners involved, the Maruti Wagon R driven by Ami Tahiliani had a slight nudge with the Toyota Innova that was allegedly driven by the family driver and belonged to a Yogesh Pujara (who is seen getting into the driver’s seat in the video).
Angry at the woman’s carelessness, the occupants of the Innova ganged up against her and started kicking the door and thereby creating a ruckus on the road causing a traffic jam. Fearing for her safety, Ami decided not to leave her car till help arrives and in a fit of rage, Yogesh slammed his car into the hatchback twice in a bid to teach the lady a lesson.
Happening in the presence of a police constable, the issue initially was thought to be a minor incident like several others and would’ve been tackled with a small argument. As the Innova driver backed up his car, even the constable thought that he was moving his car out of the road to clear the traffic. However, the following incident left the road goers and the police constable in equal shock. As visually disturbing the video is, especially since Yogesh had a child in his car; the issue highlights how poor we are at handling minor accidents.”
We couldn’t agree more…
