The confrontation, which took place on a busy highway, became more frightening as Nimisha can be heard in a video saying, “Please stop this, please stop this,” while the men continued their aggressive behaviour. Despite pressure, he did not comply with their demands and gave priority to his and the driver’s safety.
Calls for uncontrolled aggression on city streets
