thebalanced.newsMumbai Woman Clarifies Viral Confrontation with Maharashtra Minister Over Traffic Jam
Teena Choudhry, a Mumbai resident, confronted Maharashtra Minister Girish Mahajan during a BJP protest rally on April 21 that caused a traffic jam near Mahindra Taj. She was stuck for about 25 minutes in her car and spent over an hour seeking police assistance to clear two buses blocking the road. Choudhry clarified that she threw a bottle on the ground to attract attention, not at protesters. She credited Mahajan for eventually intervening and instructing the buses to be moved, allowing traffic to resume. She also urged the public not to politicize the incident or use her as a proxy in political debates.
