Rajat Dalal, 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, is in trouble again, this time for a hit-and-run on a highway in the Delhi-NCR region. The incident was recorded by a passenger in the rear seat.

In the footage, Dalal is seen driving recklessly through a congested highway, reaching a speed of 143 kmph at one point. When his vehicle struck a motorcyclist, a loud thud was heard, and 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, “Woh gir gaya koi baat nahi (It’s okay that he fell).”

Dalal also said, “Roz ka yahi kaam hai ma’am (This is my daily routine, ma’am).”

Reacting to the video, one X user said, “Strong action should be taken against this. Humanity has vanished from people like these.” Another X user commented, “This is clear case of overspending and hit and run what’s tragic is he had no remorse.”
