Man Dragged on Car Bonnet for 2 Km in Hyderabad Road Rage Incident; Case Registered

On the night of May 1 in Hyderabad's Meerpet area, a middle-aged man was dragged for about 2 km on the bonnet of a moving car following a road rage incident. The dispute began when the man's son, riding a two-wheeler, signalled for a U-turn, leading to an argument with the car driver. The driver allegedly grabbed the son's hair and drove on, causing the son to fall and sustain injuries. The father held onto the car bonnet to stop it, but the driver continued until stopping and fleeing. Police have registered a case and are investigating.
