The brawl occurred on a service road, where several bystanders watched as the altercation unfolded. Haphazardly parked cars cluttered the area, creating obstacles as the fighters hurled abuses and chased each other along the road.
Flashbacks to Past Incidents
Witnesses to the brawl couldn’t help but draw parallels to a similar incident in Baghpat, which had gone viral in 2021. One X user humorously remarked, “There is a battle on the road; two groups clashed over driving a vehicle on the wrong side, and then memories of the fight from Baghpat were refreshed.” Another user quipped, “After the chaat battle in Baghpat, we present the Ghaziabad wrong side car battle. More such battles are yet to come,” highlighting the absurdity of the situation.
Police Response and Arrests
In response to the viral footage, the Ghaziabad Police Commissioner’s X account confirmed that six individuals have been arrested in connection with the incident. “A case has been registered at Masuri police station, and further legal proceedings are underway,” the post stated.
This violent altercation serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of road rage and the importance of responsible driving. As social media continues to react to the incident, it raises questions about road safety and conflict resolution in public spaces.
