In Chandigarh, a 32-year-old man was detained after allegedly slapping a woman Rapido driver during a road rage incident near Matka Chowk on Friday afternoon. The accused was arrested from his home and charged under the preventive provisions of the Bharatiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS). The incident escalated when the man exited his white Swift car, shouted at the victim, and slapped her. Bystanders intervened, and the woman recorded her distress, which led to a video of the incident going viral with 4.5 million views by Saturday night. The woman claimed that police were slow to respond and did not immediately register her complaint. The police stated that the area falls under the jurisdiction of the Sector 3 police station. The accused, however, alleged that the woman had initially rammed her bike into his car, prompting the confrontation. This incident follows another recent case where a man was penalized for drunk driving in Leisure Valley, Sector 10.
