Noida road rage: Thar rams man into drain after Instagram spat, video goes viral
Noida: A road rage incident in Noida’s Sector 53 has raised concerns over growing street violence after a Mahindra Thar SUV rammed a young man following a dispute on Instagram. The act, caught on camera and now viral on social media, shows the vehicle hitting the victim with such force that he was flung into a roadside drain.
According to police, the accused and the victim knew each other and had an argument under Sector-24 police station limits. The disagreement reportedly began over comments exchanged on Instagram and escalated into a confrontation on the road.
Eyewitnesses said the altercation turned violent before the Thar driver deliberately accelerated the vehicle, hitting the young man. The victim was left bleeding and motionless while the SUV sped away from the scene.
ADCP Noida, Sumit Kumar Shukla, confirmed that a case has been registered under relevant sections for rash driving, causing hurt, and criminal intimidation. A police team has been formed to arrest the accused, who is currently absconding.
A special investigation team has also been deployed to trace the vehicle and apprehend the driver. The viral video has triggered widespread outrage, with citizens demanding stricter action to curb such violent episodes.
