Overview
- A widely shared video shows a man with a stick menacing a couple and their children inside a car after a minor collision in Indore.
- Police said the dispute took place under the Aerodrome police station limits and was captured as the parents begged the man not to break the window.
- Deputy Commissioner of Police Shrikrishna Lalchandani said a case has been registered under the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita, India’s new criminal law code.
