The harrowing incident came to light after the video of it went viral on social media. The incident took place after the scooty, which was coming from the wrong side, hit the victim’s car on Magadi road.

The accused, Sahil, tried to speed away when the 71-year-old got down from his car and got hold of the scooty’s grab rail. However, 25-year-old Sahil did not stop and kept dragging the septuagenarian until the people stopped him.
