A man was driven for over six kilometers on the roof of a car after being hit by the vehicle. The incident was reported from Gurugram, India and was caught on camera. The video shows 35-year-old Rajesh Diwan from Delhi holding on to the front windows as he clings to the roof of the car. "I had come to Ghaziabad to meet a friend and was waiting at a traffic signal in Sahibabad. The accused, Bhuwan Kumar Sharma, arrived in his car and banged my Swift Dzire from the rear. The accused started to reverse and flee. When I came out of the car and tried to stop him, he abused me and fled. I then decided to give chase, and soon, near Raj Nagar Extension, I overtook his car," Diwan told Hindustan Times. The fight turned ugly when he stood in front of Sharma's car, asking him to stop. "Instead, Sharma accelerated and tried to mow me down. I climbed to the bonnet of his car but he continued to drive forward. In order to save myself, I climbed on to the roof of his car where I lay holding the windows. But he kept driving at a speed of 80kmph and above. I started shouting, hoping he may stop and also firmed up my grip on the upper panel of the door. He drove around vacant roads in the vicinity and commuters on motorcycles and cars chased us to have a look," Diwan claimed. Police have arrested the accused and an FIR has been filed. "We lodged an FIR against the accused, Bhuwan Kumar Sharma, and arrested him. Sharma allegedly drove the car at a high speed with the victim clinging on to the roof. He was nabbed near the Meerut crossing area where the car got stuck in traffic. He drove the victim on the roof of his car on different roads for around six-seven kilometers," Dinesh Yadav, station house officer, Sahibabad police station was quoted saying by the newspaper. "The accused has been booked under IPC sections for an attempt to murder, rash driving on public way, causing damage and causing hurt by act endangering life or personal safety of others," he added.
