Delhi-NCR is one of the biggest and most vibrant urban areas in India. However, it has always dealt with complex law and order situations because of the fast pace of urbanization, dense population, and regular movement of people from one city to another. Whether it is traffic violations, street crimes, cyber frauds, or public disorder, the law and order situation in this massive urban area has always been a cause of concern for the authorities.
In recent times, the issue of public safety, especially during the night, has become a point of concern. Cases of road harassment, drunken driving, and obscene acts in public places have been regularly coming to the fore. One such incident recently came to light from Noida, where young people in a luxury SUV were seen chasing a family car at night and indulging in obscene gestures. As soon as the video of the incident went viral on social media, the police acted swiftly against the people involved in the act. So, let’s learn what happened.

A video of a youth in a red Hector MG car harassing the family in Noida went viral on social media
A shocking case of road harassment has surfaced in Noida, and it has spread like wildfire on social media platforms.

The tweet accompanying the video condemned the act of harassment and called for strict action to be taken by the authorities. The video was captioned as follows:
Noida nights just got creepier: Boys in red MG Hector chase a family car, blow flying kisses & throw obscene gestures like it’s entertainment. These entitled clowns think roads are their playground time for @noidapolice to teach them real consequences. Zero tolerance for this garbage.

This is just one of many such incidents in Noida. These guys don’t even care for police arresting them. Each one of them have some contact somewhere in police or authority. Even if they are caught, their relatives will make sure the complainant suffers in the worst way.

Many netizens also appreciated the quick action taken by the police but urged the authorities to make sure that the punishment does not remain limited to detention.

Noida Police has caught these guys, and I hope they’ve been given proper treatment so they never do this again.
It’s simple in U.P nowadays: you can get an education in school, or you can get an education in a police station.
The choice is yours.
