Video: Man hit with baseball bat, woman dragged by hair in Greater Noida road rage

A video of a shocking road rage incident has surfaced in Greater Noida, where a group of unidentified men attacked a man and a woman following a dispute over the accused honking at their vehicle in a residential area.

Two people have been arrested after a video went viral that showed a group of unidentified men assaulting a man and a woman with baseball bats following a dispute over honking by the accused at their car in Greater Noida. The incident triggered a protest by several Hindu organisations who gathered outside a police station to demand strict action against the accused.

The incident occurred on February 14 when the accused was continuously honking at the man's car in a residential area and later overtook it, police and eyewitnesses say. The video shows the unidentified men beating the young man with baseball bats near a parked car.

When the woman steps out to intervene, the accused pulls her, drags her hair and throws her on the ground, the clip shows. Both the man and woman suffered injuries and are hospitalised, while their vehicle was damaged by the accused, police said.

Following the incident, Manu Chaudhary Dantal, the National President of the International Jat Parliament, a Jat outfit, said the woman's mother had approached him three days earlier along with her daughters, alleging assault on her.

He claimed the accused later forced the man and the woman to delete the video of their confrontation with the unidentified men from their phones.

Protesters alleged that the women were subjected to indecent behaviour, their clothes were torn, and they were beaten with bats over honking dispute. They demanded that police invoke stringent sections, including attempt to murder, instead of lesser charges.
