A man driving an auto rickshaw under the influence attacked a group of women with a blade after they interrupted him, resulting in multiple serious injuries.

In a shocking incident in the Kidwai Nagar area of Kanpur, a young man driving his auto rickshaw recklessly while intoxicated was confronted by a group of women, leading to a violent attack. The group included Rani, who, along with her sisters and family, was simply attempting to point out the reckless driving. After their warning, the driver, Adil, crashed the auto and, along with two accomplices, approached the women with a blade. He attacked Rani and her relatives, inflicting serious injuries.

Rani recounted the events, explaining that she, her two sisters, brother-in-law, and daughter were returning home when they encountered Adil's reckless driving. The situation escalated quickly; after they suggested he should be more careful, Adil's vehicle overturned, prompting him to retaliate violently. It is reported that he and his accomplices targeted Rani, her sisters, and daughter with a blade, resulting in critical injuries to several individuals in the group.

This incident raises serious concerns about public safety and highlights the dangerous behavior of intoxicated drivers. The attack left Rani, her sisters Preeti and Radha, her daughter Palak, and brother-in-law Gaurav injured. Such acts of violence in response to a mere suggestion about road safety exemplify the urgent need for stricter measures against reckless driving and better protection for citizens confronting dangerous behavior on the roads.
