thebalanced.newsMumbai Woman Clarifies Viral Confrontation with Minister During BJP Rally Traffic Jam
On April 21, Mumbai resident Teena Choudhry was caught in a traffic jam caused by a BJP protest rally near Mahindra Taj, Worli. After waiting over 25 minutes in her car and receiving no response from police despite repeated requests to clear two buses blocking the road, she confronted Maharashtra Minister Girish Mahajan. Choudhry clarified she threw a bottle on the ground to attract attention, not at protesters. She credited Mahajan for eventually instructing the buses to be moved, allowing traffic to resume, and urged against politicizing the incident.
