A disturbing incident in Greater Noida West has come to light, where a group of young men and women were viciously attacked with a baseball bat following a squabble over honking their vehicle's horn. The altercation escalated after the accused reportedly overtook the victims' car, forcing them to stop before unleashing a brutal assault. A video capturing the incident, which lasts approximately 19 seconds, has gone viral on social media, showcasing the appalling violence inflicted on the young man by assailants outside the residential society.

The situation turned even more disturbing when a young woman attempted to intervene and rescue the man, only to face further aggression as assailants pulled her hair and shoved her to the ground. Allegations of misconduct against women have also emerged, with claims that the attackers tore the victims' clothing and verbally abused them. The incident has prompted significant outrage, leading various Hindu and social organizations to stage protests at the Bisrakh police station, demanding immediate and severe action against those responsible for the violent assault.

Manu Chaudhary, the National President of the International Jat Parliament, mentioned that the mother of one victim reached out to their office three days prior to the protests, reporting the brutal treatment her daughters received. The call for justice has resonated through the community, exemplifying the growing concern over violence related to trivial disputes, and indicating a deeper societal issue that needs addressing within the region.
