A video has gone viral on social media showing a Bengaluru-based army officer disciplining a traffic violator with a stick. The incident has sparked a heated debate online, with some praising the officer’s actions and others criticizing them as excessive.
A car’s dashcam captured an incident shared by X user Madhur (@ThePlacardGuy), which many people have described as “satisfying.”
In the clip, a car is forced to stop suddenly because a scooter is coming from the wrong direction in a one-way lane. The scooter rider demands that the car move aside to let him pass. Just then, an armed forces truck stops nearby, and an officer gets out to intervene. The officer scolds the scooter rider for breaking traffic rules and smacks him on the head. When the rider doesn’t immediately move, the officer retrieves a stick or baton from the truck to enforce the rules. The commotion catches the attention of nearby traffic police, and the scooter rider is soon seen trying to get into the correct lane.
Reacting to the video, X user Ankur Bagchi (@JustAnkurBagchi) commented, “I would gladly pay more taxes to have army trucks patrol Bangalore roads every day.” Another user, RB (@DeLoneWulf), added, “Those coming from the wrong side should be slapped and spanked before being fined and having their vehicle impounded.”
YouTuber and vigilante ThirdEye (@3rdEyeDude) expressed gratitude to those using dashcams to capture such traffic violations. They commented, “People should feel ashamed of doing this. Hopefully, more videos like this will inspire others to stand up against reckless driving.”
