Woman On Scooter With 2 Kids Punched, Left Bleeding In Pune Road Rage Case
Pune:
A woman travelling on a scooter with two children in Pune was punched in the face by an elderly man in a car who was allegedly angry because he wasn’t given space to overtake. The woman’s hair was pulled and she was punched twice with such force that her nose began bleeding extensively.
Posting a video narrating her ordeal, Jerlyn D’Silva, a digital content creator, claimed she was on the Pashan-Baner Link Road on a scooter with her children and a man in a car had been speeding behind them for nearly 2 km. She said she stuck to the left of the road, not wanting to come in the car’s way, but the man overtook her and stopped in front of her scooter.
A case has been registered against the man, who has been identified as Swapnil Kekre.He got out of the car very furiously. He punched me twice and pulled my hair. I had two kids, he didn’t care about them. How safe is this city? Why are people behaving like maniacs? I had two kids with me, kuch bhi ho sakta tha (anything could have happened)… A woman helped me,” Ms D’Silva says in the video, with blood around her nose and mouth.
