Details of the Incident
A viral CCTV clip reveals the couple’s car aggressively colliding with the delivery boy’s bike. The incident, marked as “Road Rage Shocker,” shocked many. It was reported that the couple pursued the victim for two kilometers before committing the act, showcasing blatant disregard for safety. After the act, they even returned to the scene to dispose of evidence. The accused, identified as Manoj Kumar and Aarti Sharma, have been apprehended, with the victim, Darshan, off-duty at the time.
Grover took to social media to express his views, stating, “This is not road rage, this is a hate crime.

This kind of hatred parallels the broader political sentiments we see today, reflecting severe social inequalities.”
