A fresh incident of public disorder on Ahmedabad's crucial Sindhu Bhavan Road (SBR) has gone viral on social media, prompting a police investigation. The video, which surfaced on Wednesday, captures two motorists engaged in a violent brawl right in the middle of the busy carriageway, bringing traffic to a halt and angering commuters.
Chaos in the Middle of the Road: What the Video Shows
The widely shared footage shows two men who have stopped their vehicles on the road. What begins as a heated argument quickly escalates into a physical fight, with both individuals seen abusing each other and exchanging blows. The exact cause of the initial argument remains unclear, according to eyewitness accounts. Throughout the altercation, the duo appeared completely oblivious to the severe traffic snarl they were creating behind them.
Traffic Standstill and Public Reaction
Sindhu Bhavan Road is a major arterial route in western Ahmedabad and witnesses heavy traffic flow throughout the day. The fight caused vehicles to come to a standstill for several minutes, leading to significant congestion and frustration among road users. While some commuters attempted to intervene and separate the fighting men, several others were seen recording the incident on their mobile phones.
A Pattern of Viral Misconduct on City Roads
Police sources indicate this is not an isolated event. In just the last two days, at least three videos depicting reckless behavior on Ahmedabad's roads have gone viral. One clip showed two youths performing dangerous stunts on a motorcycle on the same Sindhu Bhavan Road. Another video from the location captured a scuffle between young women. A third piece of footage showed a man riding an Activa scooter in a risky manner with a woman seated perilously in front.
Authorities are now actively analyzing all these viral videos to identify the individuals involved. The police have initiated a probe into the latest road rage incident and plan to take appropriate legal action against those responsible. The repeated incidents have raised concerns about public safety and traffic discipline on the city's key roads.
