A man has dragged a traffic cop on car’s bonnet for 2 km in Nangloi area of outer Delhi to allegedly escape from paper check by the officer.

Though the incident took place in November 2019, the video footage of the same went viral on Sunday.


People on all social media platforms have shared the video and exchanged comments on the incident.

The policeman was trying to stop the accused by jumping atop his car’s bonnet.

The ‘victim’ was later identified as Sunil. He suffered injuries following the unfortunate incident.

The cops were checking papers of the vehicle at Nangloi Chowk when the accused’s car came from another side.

The policemen indicated the accused to stop but after slowing the speed of his car the man tried to escape. Then in a bid to stop the person, Sunil jumped atop the bonnet of his car.

Highlights

  • Lakshmi Mittal, worth over £15 bn, has moved his tax residence from UK to Switzerland with plans to spend most time in Dubai.
  • Inheritance tax concerns, not income tax, drove the decision of the "King of Steel" to leave after 30 years in Britain.
  • The departure marks another high-profile exit as chancellor Rachel Reeves prepares major tax rises in the coming Budget.
Lakshmi Mittal, one of Britain's wealthiest men, has ended his three-decade association with the UK, relocating his tax residence to Switzerland and planning to base himself in Dubai. The 74-year-old steel magnate, worth approximately £15.5 bn according to the Asian Rich List 2025, is the latest prominent entrepreneur to leave Britain amid Labour's tax reforms targeting the super-rich.

The Indian-born billionaire built his fortune through ArcelorMittal, the world's second-largest steelmaker, in which he and his family hold nearly 40 per cent ownership. Since arriving in London in 1995, Mittal became a prominent figure in British business, acquiring expensive properties including a £57 m mansion on Kensington Palace Gardens known as the "Taj Mittal."

An adviser familiar with Mittal's family plans told The Sunday Times that, inheritance tax was the decisive factor in the decision. "It wasn't the tax on income or capital gains that was the issue, the issue was inheritance tax."
