A video showing a woman behind the wheel of an MG Astor allegedly attempting to push past a traffic policeman in Maharashtra has sparked widespread criticism online. The clip, originally shared on Reddit, has gone viral—though the exact location and date of the incident remain unclear. In the footage, the traffic officer is seen firmly standing in front of the car, attempting to halt its movement. Despite this, the driver inches the vehicle forward, steadily forcing the officer to step back. The officer, clearly distressed, is heard repeatedly asking a bystander to “make a video” of the encounter.
The video, which received over 2,000 upvotes on Reddit, drew sharp reactions from users. The top comment demanded legal action: “Charge her with attempting to run over a police officer. Let her spend years battling it out in court.” Others voiced concern for the officer’s safety. “The driver is clearly at fault, but why is the cop risking his life for a poorly paid job? Just record the plate number and let her go. No point standing in front of the car like that,” one user noted.
Many called for stricter enforcement. “Seize the vehicle, suspend her licence. These kinds of incidents are becoming too common. We need tougher laws,” another remarked. The incident has reignited debate around road rage, reckless driving, and the treatment of law enforcement officials on duty.
