A violent brawl in the Maryadpatti area at Bhadohi, UP, took a dangerous turn on Saturday evening after a black Thar rammed into a crowd. The driver, allegedly trying to flee a street fight, injured three people and wrecked several vehicles. The terrifying moment was caught on camera and quickly went viral, triggering outrage across Uttar Pradesh.

The clash began near Bharat Talkies intersection, close to a liquor shop situated beside a temple and two mosques. Witnesses say the fight involved men from a Thar and a white Hyundai Venue. As the scuffle worsened, the Thar driver suddenly sped off, hitting three motorcycles and dragging a car for several metres.

Locals say the liquor outlet has been a long-standing problem. “Disputes happen here every day. This shop has become a nightmare for us,” one resident told India TV. People living nearby blame it for attracting drunk crowds and disturbing religious harmony, given its proximity to places of worship.

Videos from the scene show the Thar smashing into parked bikes and narrowly missing pedestrians. Two bikes were completely destroyed. The white Venue was seen being dragged along the road. As the car sped through the crowd, people screamed and scattered, causing traffic chaos in the busy area.
