Mumbai News: A viral video on social media shows a minor road rage escalating into a disturbing fight as a man hits, kicks and throws a cab driver on the ground after the latter's vehicle hit the former's Audi. The incident occurred in Mumbai.
In the 30-second clip, a car is seen approaching an Audi from behind, and as the driver applies the brakes, the car just barely brushes the Audi's bumper.
The owner of the Audi, Rishabh Chakravarti, got down to inspect the car for damage together with his wife, Antara Ghosh, and another woman. They became irate and began beating the Ola driver.
