Noida, June 3, 2025: A chilling road rage incident in Noida’s Sector 53 has left residents stunned after a Mahindra Thar SUV, allegedly driven in anger, rammed a young man, sending him flying into a roadside drain. The shocking act, caught on camera and now viral on social media, has prompted urgent police action and reignited public concerns over rising street violence in the city.

According to police sources, the violence stemmed from an online spat. "There was a dispute between the two parties under the police station Sector-24 area to comment on the social media platform. Both sides are familiar with each other," said Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (ADCP), Noida, Sumit Kumar Shukla. The altercation reportedly began over comments exchanged on Instagram and escalated into a physical confrontation on the street.

Eyewitnesses say the argument turned violent before the Thar driver deliberately accelerated, mowing down the victim with such force that he was thrown off the road and into a nearby drain, bleeding and motionless. The SUV then fled the scene.
