A video of a man bulldozing toll booths on the Delhi-Lucknow highway in Uttar Pradesh took the internet by storm on Tuesday. He vandalised toll booths on both sides after being asked to pay the toll, according to reports.
In the video shared on X, a toll booth employee can be heard saying, “The man bulldozed two booths to avoid the toll.” Towards the end of the video, the man can be seen running away with his bulldozer.
“The bulldozer operator got angry when asked to pay the toll. He broke two booths of the toll plaza. The employees ran away to save their lives. At present, the bulldozer is absconding,” Sachin Gupta wrote on the website.
