In yet another incident that speaks volumes about society’s insensitiveness, Prerna Chauhan (22) fought with an auto driver on Thursday for 20 minutes, who attacked her with a sharp weapon in broad daylight here but no one intervened or attempted to rescue her.
BPO employee Prerna, a resident of Sector 22, was coming from City Centre Metro station in a shared auto with four others. She de-boarded at the Mamura Crossing and a heated debate ensued between auto-driver Shivram Yadav and Prerna over the fare which led to the auto-driver attacking her with a blade several times.
Yadav wanted Rs 10 as fare, claiming it has been increased, but Prerna was willing to pay Rs 5 only. Yadav was arrested later after police arrived at her phone call, an official said.
Surprisingly, the fist-fighting between the two continued for 20 minutes but no-passerby intervened to save the woman. Police said that the driver also tried to strangulate her, hit her on the neck with a blade but the woman resisted his attacks bravely.
She also vociferously attacked Yadav in retaliation. She also made a PCR call. The police reached the spot and arrested Yadav.
