Is It ‘Election Or Heat Stroke’ Escalating Violence? From Threatening With Pistol On Raod To Killing A DJ For Refusing Alcohol

Threatening With Pitol For Minor Collision

In a dramatic incident of road rage in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, a man brandished a pistol at another driver following a minor car collision near Web Mall. The altercation quickly escalated when Vinod Mishra confronted Ranjeet after their vehicles—a black Tata Safari and a white WagonR—collided.

Mishra, holding a pistol, aggressively grabbed Ranjeet by the t-shirt, shoved the gun’s barrel into his abdomen, and struck his shoulder with the butt of the weapon as Ranjeet tried to protect himself. Despite Ranjeet’s apologies, Mishra continued his assault, hitting him with the gun multiple times.

Additional Superintendent of Police Amit Kumawat reported, “Ranjeet was heading toward Bhutnath when his car collided with Mishra’s. An argument ensued, and Mishra pulled out his gun.” The entire confrontation was captured on camera by a passerby and quickly went viral on social media, drawing widespread attention.

The incident took place in Bansmandi on Faizabad Road. Following the viral video, police arrested Vinod Mishra after Ranjeet lodged a formal complaint. Mishra’s licensed pistol was confiscated, and authorities are conducting an ongoing investigation. Further legal actions are anticipated.
