The video which HT cannot independently verify, has sparked outrage online and raised concerns about “overspeeding” and “hit and run” incidents.

The footage shows Dalal driving recklessly through a congested highway, reaching speeds of 143 kmph. When his vehicle struck the motorcyclist, a loud thud was heard. The woman beside him, who addressed him as “Sir,” said, “Sir, sir, sir, gir gaya woh, aise mat karo” (He has fallen down, please don’t do this). Dalal casually responded, "Wo gir gaya, koi baat nahi. Roz ka yahi kaam hai ma'am" (There's no big deal if he fell down. This is a daily thing, ma'am), following the collision.

The video has gone viral on the social media, triggering widespread outrage and calls for strict action against Dalal.

At the end of the video, Dalal can be heard asking the woman beside him if she is “one of those good human beings.” The footage also captures the moment Dalal realises that someone in the rear seat was filming the entire incident.

According to The Indian Express report, Rajat Dalal is a fitness ‘influencer’ who was released on bail in June after being arrested for allegedly kidnapping and assaulting an 18-year-old student over an Instagram post.
