The Audi owner hit the driver and pushed him to the ground
Mumbai:
A video of a man punching, kicking and throwing another man to the ground has gone viral on social media. The disturbing clip shows the man throwing the taxi driver to the ground after his vehicle hit the luxury car in Mumbai.
The 30-second video shows a car coming from behind an Audi and as the driver braked, the vehicle lightly touched the bumper of the Audi. The Audi owner, Rishabh Chakravarti, his wife Antara Ghosh and another woman got out to check if the vehicle had sustained any damage. They started shouting and abusing the Ola driver.
Guys, please don't get aggressive in traffic.
It can get you into trouble.
Ola rammed Audi, which led to this.
There is also a backstory behind it, which needs to be verified as to why the Audi driver took such an extreme step.

Rishabh then punches Kayamuddin, lifts him up and knocks him to the ground, the video shows. The driver's head hits the surface, leaving him motionless for a while.
Rishabh didn’t stop there. He kicked the driver, who was lying on the ground, while the people present at the scene watched as mute spectators. The driver, who had suffered head injuries, eventually got up and held his head.
The incident took place on August 18 around 11.20 pm at the entrance of a building opposite a shopping mall in Ghatkopar in Mumbai, a police official told PTI.
“Mr Ansari was first taken to Rajawadi Hospital in Ghatkopar and then shifted to the government-run JJ Hospital. His statement has been recorded. The attack on him was captured by CCTV cameras at the entrance of the building,” the official told PTI.
Police have filed a complaint under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) against Rishabh and his wife for assaulting the driver. Officers have issued notices to the couple to be present in the court, where claims and counter-claims of both parties are being investigated, the official told PTI.
Social media users expressed their anger after the video was widely shared online. One user wrote: “This arrogant Audi man should be booked under UAPA.”
“Nowadays some people are so fond of gaining power that after seeing certain people they start showing their power over a weak person,” wrote another.
“Jaha dekho kalesh hello kalesh hai kalyug aaa gya hai sahi me“, wrote a third user.
