On Thursday evening, Kandivali witnessed a violent fight as a result of a road rage incident involving an auto-rickshaw driver and a local woman. The altercation began after the woman was struck by an auto-rickshaw while crossing the street. Bystanders quickly intervened and attacked the auto driver in revenge.

The scenario immediately escalated as the driver defended himself and ran to the adjacent Lalaji Pada police station for protection. However, tensions increased when a swelling mob attempted to assault the police station, demanding that the driver be handed over. During the turmoil, the mob also vandalised the auto-rickshaw parked in front of the police station.
