'It Is Distressing That A Life Is Endangered For Rs 160:' Toll Plaza's Manager

As per the reports of Aaj Tak, Amir Dhangar, the manager of Kashi Toll Plaza, expressed dismay over the incident, labeling it as shameful. He remarked, "It is distressing that a life is endangered over a mere Rs 160. A vehicle arrived with three to four occupants with no Fastag. When asked for payment, they denied arguing and fled with the car, striking toll supervisor Munisha in the process."

"Munisha is now undergoing treatment in the hospital. Our staff is deeply concerned. It is disheartening to see people resorting to such extreme measures over a small amount of money," he also said.

Toll workers have lodged a formal complaint against the car driver at the nearest Partapur police station. A police official confirmed that legal action will be taken based on the evidence provided by the CCTV footage.
