"I was waiting at the signal around 9pm when a two-wheeler (KA-41-Q-9634), which was behind the car, continuously honked. The rider wanted me to make way, but I started only after the signal turned green. The rider and his pillion then abused me and my mother. When I objected, they followed me and broke the side mirror before escaping," Niranjan told police.He recorded the entire act on his mobile phone and uploaded it on X. "The video went viral and we requested Niranjan to file a complaint," a police officer said.
