A video of a man driving recklessly on a busy Haryana road, allegedly hitting a motorcycle, and showing no remorse over the incident has gone viral. Shared by activist Deepika Narayan Bhardwaj on X, the video shows a person driving at around 140 km/h, while his co-passengers can be heard asking him to slow down. However, the man, which Ms Bhardwaj said was influencer Rajat Dalal, kept driving recklessly on the busy road before allegedly ramming a motorcycle.
“Wo gir gaya, koi baat nahi. Roz ka yahi kaam hai ma’am (There’s no big deal if he fell down. This is a daily thing, ma’am),” he is heard saying in the video after allegedly hitting the biker.
“Habitual Offender #RajatDalalPsycho hits a biker while driving at a speed of 143Kmph on a busy inner city highway,” she wrote on X.
“GIR GAYA KOI BAAT NAHI. YE TO HAMARA ROZ KA KAAM HAI “
