Conflict Regarding Toll Charge And Traffic Jam Control
The incident is said to have occurred on Sunday evening at the Bhuni Toll Plaza on the Karnal Highway. The jawan, Kapil, a native of a nearby village who is now stationed in Jammu and Kashmir, was headed towards Delhi with a friend in a car. When they arrived at the toll plaza, an altercation allegedly ensued with toll personnel regarding the traffic jam and toll tax.
Brutal Assault Caught On Camera
The exchange of words soon turned into a brutal fight. The widely shared video clearly shows toll personnel persistently kicking, punching, and beating the jawan with sticks. In one especially jarring moment caught on camera, a toll personnel can even be seen grabbing a brick, as if to hit the soldier.
