The incident occurred after two cars collided near a State Bank of India branch. According to police, the driver of one of the vehicles allegedly fled the scene following the collision. A man traveling in the other vehicle then climbed onto the bonnet in an attempt to stop the fleeing driver. Despite the man's efforts, the vehicle continued moving. CCTV footage captured the man clinging to the bonnet and repeatedly shouting at the driver to stop. The man was eventually apprehended when police responded to the incident, which was reported through India's 112 emergency response number. Police are currently examining the CCTV footage to determine the sequence of events leading up to the collision and the actions taken thereafter. No formal case has been registered yet because neither party has submitted a complaint. Authorities have stated they would take appropriate action if they receive a complaint.",
