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.

LS passes bill to open up nuclear sector for private participation
New Delhi (PTI): Lok Sabha on Wednesday passed the nuclear energy bill with Union minister Jitendra Singh asserting that it would help India achieve its target of 100 GW atomic energy generation by 2047.
The Sustainable Harnessing and Advancement of Nuclear Energy for Transforming India (SHANTI) Bill, which seeks to open the tightly-controlled civil nuclear sector for private participation, was passed by voice vote amid a walkout by the opposition.
Singh termed the bill a "milestone legislation" that will give a new direction to the country's developmental journey.
"India's role in geopolitics is increasing. If we have to be a global player, we have to follow global benchmarks and global strategies. The world is moving towards clean energy. We too have set a target of 100 GW of nuclear energy capacity by 2047," he said.
The opposition contended that the bill diluted provisions of the Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage Act, 2010 that passed on the liability for a nuclear incident on to the suppliers of nuclear equipment.
