Thinking that he might be asking him to pull over, Jain did so. The biker then parked the scooter in front of his car, obstructing his way. He then picked up a coconut shell and started attacking the car. The attacker broke the outer rear view mirror or ORVM.
3/ A few hundred meters ahead, I realized he’s following me and started yelling, shouting, and honking for me to stop. He obstructed my way and parked his scooter in front of my car.

He even smashed the shell against the window, asking him to open it. Jain shared a picture of the window all scratched up because of the attack. When he attempted to escape, he saw that another SUV attempted to hinder his attempt and almost crashed into the car.
4/ In a fit of rage, he picked up a tender coconut shell from the road.

The motive of the attack is still unclear. Many speculated that not being able to take over might have triggered the aggression but as the dashcam footage shows, the scooter was allowed to overtake the car without any hassle.
7/ Adding to the horror, a grey Renault Triber (KA 04 MW 2000) attempted to obstruct my way about ~300 meters ahead of the incident. I suspect they might be part of the same gang, given the suspicious behaviour of the driver. pic.twitter.com/oh3SjKONIv

8/ I’m still processing this traumatic event. Had I opened the door or window, I could have lost my life to his aggression. Thankfully, I had a dashcam installed and recorded the whole incident.
