A disturbing incident of road rage and mob violence unfolded in Greater Noida’s Beta 2 area on Sunday evening, when a Zimbabwean couple, Michael and Amma, were allegedly assaulted and their car vandalized. The couple, who reside in a rented accommodation in Sector Xu, Greater Noida, and work at a private company, were driving to run some errands when the incident occurred.

According to reports, Michael accidentally hit a motorcycle coming from the opposite direction, ridden by 25-year-old deliveryman Aryan. A heated argument ensued, which quickly escalated into violence. The mob, comprising deliverymen and others, allegedly assaulted Michael and broke the windshield and window glasses of his car.

The swift action taken by the police prevented further harm to the couple. Fortunately, Michael and Amma were rescued safely and did not suffer any injuries during the assault. Police have registered a case of assault and damaging property against four people, including Aryan and three unidentified individuals, under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
