A disturbing video from Mumbai has gone viral, sparking outrage on social media. The 16-second clip shows a shocking incident where an auto-rickshaw driver mercilessly slapped a young man in the middle of a busy road while dozens of bystanders simply watched.
According to reports, the fight started over a fare dispute. In the viral video, the elderly auto driver is seen grabbing the youth by the collar and repeatedly slapping him across the face. What’s more disturbing is the young man’s reaction — terrified, he falls to his knees, begging for mercy. Despite his pleas, the driver continues hitting him and hurling abuses.
सदरच्या शाळकरी मुलाचे पैसे हरवल्यामुळे रिक्षा प्रवासाचे पैसे न दिल्यामुळे रिक्षा चालक थेरड्याने विद्यार्थी पैसे नाहीत माफ करा म्हणत असताना देखील मारहाण केल्याचे दिसते
आमची महाराष्ट्र पोलिसांना विनंती आहे
याला असा धडा शिकवा की या वयात ही याला याचा बाप आणि याचे आजोबा आठवले… pic.twitter.com/bm5PpWs5pj— दत्ता चौधरी (@DattaChoud73764) August 24, 2025
What shocked people the most wasn’t just the brutality, but the indifference of the public. Pedestrians, passing vehicles, and even passengers inside the auto remained silent spectators. Instead of intervening, many simply recorded the video.
The clip has sparked anger online, with users slamming the crowd’s apathy. Meanwhile, Mumbai Police acknowledged the video on their official X handle, urging citizens to share the exact location and help identify the driver. However, no official update has been given yet on whether action has been taken.
This viral video once again raises tough questions: Why do people prefer recording violence instead of stopping it?
