In a case of road rage, a retired army jawan, aged 50, was dragged for nearly a kilometre by motorists in Mulund on Wednesday at around 8.35 am. Fortunately, a vigilant police officer who happened to be passing by witnessed the horrifying scene and sprang into action, chasing the car and apprehending both culprits. The incident unfolded when the car collided with the ex-army man, prompting him to shout at the driver in protest. Instead of stopping, the driver callously continued driving, but due to the congested road, their escape was thwarted.
Recalling the incident, Mahendra Khedekar, the retired army personnel, shared, “I shouted at him, but he showed no regard even after realising that his car had struck me. Determined to confront him, I ran after his vehicle. Eventually, due to the traffic, he was forced to stop, and that’s when the driver and his passenger emerged, hurling abuse and making threats.”`
