**Chennai:** In a shocking display of aggression, a Special Sub-Inspector of Police in Tirunelveli, south Tamil Nadu, was caught on video driving his car with a young man clinging to the bonnet for nearly 200 metres after a minor traffic accident spiraled out of control.
The incident took place on Wednesday night when Gandhirajan, a Special Sub-Inspector from Tirunelveli Town Police Station, was driving his car. A sudden stop by a bus ahead caused the biker in front of him to brake sharply. Unfortunately, the car then collided with the bike, throwing it to the roadside. The rider, a young man, sustained minor injuries.
When the man confronted Gandhirajan, the officer appeared agitated. In an alarming move, he accelerated his car in an attempt to intimidate the young man, who refused to move. The force of the car pushed the man onto the bonnet, where he held on desperately, screaming for help as the officer sped off.
For a horrifying distance of nearly 200 metres, the officer continued driving with the man clinging to the front of the vehicle. Onlookers recorded the shocking incident, which quickly went viral and sparked widespread outrage across social media.
In response to the incident, Gandhirajan has been transferred to the Armed Reserve Police Camp. Additionally, a departmental inquiry has been initiated to investigate the matter further.
