In yet another incident of road rage in Panchkula, two youths threatened BJP councillor Ritu Goel and her husband, hurled abuses and misbehaved with them outside a temple in Sector 7 on Wednesday.
Ritu, the councillor from Panchkula’s ward number 3, said on Wednesday, she, along with her husband, Vikas Goel, had visited Durga Temple in Sector 7 around 11.20 am.
Her husband was waiting in their car parked on the roadside, while she went inside the temple to pay obeisance. Meanwhile, unable to pass through due to their car, two youths in another car got enraged and deflated one of their tyres.
She alleged that the accused, while hurling abuses, even snatched her husband’s mobile phone and smashed it against a wall. The duo then pulled out a stick from their car and threatened to kill her husband.
Hearing the commotion, she rushed out to her husband’s aid, when the youths hurled abuses at her as well. They even threatened their driver, Mayaram, who was in another car and misbehaved with him, before driving away in their Honda City car, bearing a Chandigarh registration number.
