Eyewitnesses say the heated exchange quickly escalated. In a sudden and deliberate move, the Thar driver accelerated and rammed into the victim at high speed. The impact was so forceful that the victim was flung off the road and landed in a nearby drain. He lay there, bleeding and motionless, while the SUV sped away from the scene.
A bystander recorded the entire sequence on video, which has since gone viral on social media and triggered widespread outrage. The disturbing footage shows the moment of impact and the chaos that followed, with onlookers rushing to help the victim.
Case registered, SIT formed
Police in Noida have registered a case under multiple sections, including rash driving, causing hurt, and criminal intimidation. “A police team has been formed to arrest the accused. A case has been registered at Sector 24 police station,” ADCP Shukla confirmed.
A special investigation team has been tasked with tracking down the driver, who is currently absconding. Authorities say they are examining video footage, witness statements, and digital clues from the Instagram argument to establish a clear timeline of events.
The incident has reignited concerns over how online spats are increasingly spilling into real-world violence. Citizens are demanding tougher action and stricter surveillance to curb such aggressive behaviour on public roads. Many online users have called for fast-tracked legal action and stricter enforcement to ensure such acts don’t go unpunished.
As the victim recovers from serious injuries, Noida police continue their hunt for the suspect, amid growing calls for accountability and justice.
