A cab driver in Noida allegedly drove through a busy Sector 18 road with two men clinging to the vehicle’s bonnet after a dispute, prompting Sector-20 police to trace the car and begin an investigation, according to a report by Live Hindustan – NCR.
An approximately eight-second video of the incident has circulated on social media. It appears to show two men holding on to the bonnet of a moving cab as the driver continues forward instead of stopping. Other vehicles can be seen passing close to the cab, with some slowing down as the incident unfolds.
The video appears to have been recorded on a busy road in Sector 18. The two men on the bonnet can be seen trying to maintain their grip while the vehicle moves between other cars. The sudden movement reportedly caused nearby traffic to slow and created a situation resembling a brief traffic jam.
According to the report, the driver continued accelerating through the surrounding traffic. The footage has raised concerns about the risks such incidents pose to people inside vehicles, pedestrians and other road users on a high-traffic commercial stretch. Social media users tagged Noida Police and sought action against the driver after the video emerged.
The exact cause of the dispute has not been officially established. The source report also states that the circumstances leading to the two men being on the bonnet, including when and how the confrontation began, remain unclear. The video by itself does not establish the identities of the people involved or the full sequence of events.
Sector-20 police said they had traced the vehicle on the basis of the viral video and gathered information about the car. Police said the accused would be arrested soon and that the vehicle would be seized, according to the report. The police investigation is expected to establish the identities of those involved and determine the events that preceded the cab’s movement.
The case highlights the immediate road-safety risks created when a private dispute spills onto a congested urban carriageway. A moving vehicle carrying people on its bonnet can endanger those involved as well as motorists travelling nearby, particularly where traffic is dense and vehicles have limited room to manoeuvre.
The next official steps are the identification and arrest of the accused, seizure of the vehicle and further investigation into the dispute. The cause of the confrontation and the complete circumstances of the incident are expected to become clearer after police questioning and verification of the video evidence.
