Amidst the ongoing Bharat Bandh protest organized by farmers across the nation, a video has surfaced capturing a heated confrontation between a woman in a car and a group of protesting farmers. The video depicts the woman visibly agitated, hurling abuses and showing her middle finger to the farmers who allegedly obstructed the road, prompting her fury.
The altercation escalates as the woman accuses the farmers of inappropriate behavior, alleging that they touched her inappropriately and harassed her. In the footage, she vehemently questions why her car was stopped, expressing her frustration and anger towards the situation.
The Bharat Bandh protest, which commenced at 6 AM and is scheduled until 4 PM, has garnered significant participation, particularly in Punjab and Haryana.
