A Bengaluru man claimed that an auto driver, who was perhaps under the influence of alcohol, crashed into him in the HSR layout area of the city early on Wednesday morning.
The man, who was identified as Azhar Khan, shared a video on Twitter in which cameras caught him speaking to the auto driver and about 40 seconds into the video, the man walked a short distance ahead of the vehicle when the driver abruptly turned the auto in his direction, which made him fall.
"Last night 3:00 Am I was taking ride from @rapidobikeapp. And that drunk driver hit me his auto in Hsr layout sector 1 banglore. I Had company laptop and gadgets with me. He Hit me with his Auto and run from there," the man wrote on Twitter and shared the video.
