Live Hindustan reported that the incident took place on August 19 when Alok Upadhyay, a pharmaceutical vendor, was travelling with his family from Bisauli towards Badaun.

He claimed that as there was a jam on the road, one person had wrongly parked his car, to which he objected, following which an argument broke out.

Upadhyay said the accused followed his car and called several acquaintances. They overtook Upadhyay's car and vandalised it with an iron rod.

The viral videos show several men around Upadhyay's car as one person smashes the windscreen with an iron rod. The screams of women and children from inside the car can also be heard.
