Techie harassed by motorcycle rider in road rage incident

In the video, an allegedly drunk man suddenly appeared on the left side of her car and obstructed her way while she was taking a left turn and blocked her. He also started honking incessantly instead of slowing down. He again blocked her way for the second time and started to threaten her. Then, he left the place when the locals intervened.
