As the bulldozer laid waste to the booths, toll plaza workers could only record the event which is now rapidly gaining traction on social media.
Watch the video:
Toll manager Ajit Chaudhary reported that as the JCB operator was passing the toll booth, when he was asked to pay the toll charge, he resorted to expletives and damaged two toll booths with the bulldozer, breaking installed CCTV cameras and causing substantial damage. A complaint has been filed with the police and a case is being registered.
CO Pilkhuwa Jitendra Sharma informed that on June 11, a JCB operator vandalized the toll booths at Chhijarsi toll plaza. Legal action is ongoing following the registration of the complaint at Pilkhuwa police station.
