A video of a group of women inside a car in Chennai allegedly being chased and harassed by men in two cars has gone viral on social. In the video, one of the two vehicles bore a flag with ensigns similar to that of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) party.

The incident took place on the night of January 25  along the East Coast Road in the city's Kanathur area, according to NDTV.

The women were returning home to Muttukadu by car when an SUV stopped in front of them. A man wearing black clothes got out of the SUV and ran towards the women's car and banged the window pane as the women screamed in fear.

As they tried to speed ahead, the SUV blocked their way. The woman driving the car hurriedly reversed the car and changed the route but after moving for some distance, they were chased again before the video ended.

The incident triggered a political backlash with BJP slamming Chief Minister MK Stalin.

CM MK Stalin, who has sold his iron fist for dates, is this the beauty of your regime's law and order maintenance? Can we commit any violence if we have the DMK flag?"
