In yet another incident of road rage, a video has gone viral from an incident in Bhopal where a biker was beaten up for stopping his bike in front of a Mahindra Thar SUV to stop him from driving on the wrong side of the road.
The video captures the arrogant driver of the SUV resorting to slaps and punches to move the biker out of his way, who was telling him to follow the rules and drive on the correct side of the road. The driver has been taken into police custody and an FIR has been filed against him.
This incident sheds light on how people refuse to follow traffic rules. The driver was on the wrong side and when the biker, said to be about 18 to 19 years old, stopped his bike right in front of the SUV.
The incident happened on one of the busiest roads in Bhopal, near the Bhojtal lake. Police is always stationed near the spot but did not bat an eye when the incident was taking place. The people present on the spot also did not react to the situation knowing the driver was the one at fault.
