Mumbai: Audi Car Owner Beats Up Ola Driver After Minor Collision

A disturbing incident has come to light in Mumbai involving a couple who allegedly assaulted a cab driver after their luxury car was involved in a minor collision. The incident, captured on CCTV, has sparked outrage and led to the arrest of the couple, Rishabh Chakravarti and Antara Ghosh.

The altercation occurred on August 18 when the couple’s Audi car collided with an Ola cab driven by Qayamuddin Ansari. Following the collision, the couple exited their vehicle and began verbally abusing Ansari, even going so far as to remove the Ola cab device from his vehicle.

The situation escalated when Ansari decided to follow the Audi, leading to a second collision at the entrance of a building in Ghatkopar. Enraged, Chakravarti assaulted Ansari, physically lifting him and slamming him to the ground. The violent act resulted in serious head injuries for the cab driver, who was rushed to JJ Hospital for treatment.

The incident has been widely condemned, with many criticizing the couple’s aggressive and violent behavior. The viral video of the assault has further fueled public outrage, highlighting the need for greater respect and understanding on the roads.

Guys, please don't get into road rage.

It can land you into trouble.

Ola rammed into Audi which led to this.

Also there is a backstory to this, which needs to be verified as the reason why the Audi driver took such an extreme step.

The Mumbai police have registered a case against Chakravarti and Ghosh based on Ansari’s complaint. The couple has been issued notices to appear in court, and further investigation is ongoing. The authorities are urging the public to resolve disputes peacefully and avoid resorting to violence.

This incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of maintaining civility and respect on the roads. It is crucial for all drivers to exercise patience and understanding, especially when faced with minor accidents or disagreements. The aggressive behavior exhibited by the couple in this case is unacceptable and should not be tolerated.

As the investigation into this matter continues, it is hoped that justice will be served and that the perpetrators will face the consequences of their actions. This incident should also serve as a cautionary tale for others, highlighting the potential dangers of allowing anger and frustration to escalate into violence.
