The incident was captured on CCTV, and the victim's story has gained traction on social media. Currently, the police have registered a case and initiated an investigation.
In fact, a user on the social media platform 'X' recounted the ordeal, stating that on March 9th, Aditya Rajawat, along with his brother, father, and a companion, traveled from Gwalior to Mathura for the pilgrimage. On their return journey, around 9:30 PM, they stopped approximately 8 kilometers from Saiyan Toll Plaza on NH-44 to use the restroom. At that moment, a blue Baleno car without a number plate approached from the wrong side. Three to four individuals began questioning the Rajawat family.
The victims reported that the attackers inquired about their car’s number, the owner’s name, their destination, and origin. All appeared to be intoxicated and began pushing and shoving. When resisted, they turned violent. The driver attempted to escape, but the miscreants pursued them and caught up near Saiyan Toll Plaza.
While in the Fastag lane, the attackers struck Aditya Rajawat’s car with an iron rod, severely damaging it.
