A dramatic scene unfolded on the Kanpur-Sagar National Highway in Hamirpur, Uttar Pradesh after a tractor bumped into a car, leading to a woman stepping out of the vehicle and yelling at the tractor driver. She was reportedly identified as the wife of a senior district-level officer (DM GIC), who attempted to display power after the two vehicles collided. Enraged over the tractor hitting her car, she confronted the tractor driver by grabbing his collar and shouting at him in the middle of the road.
While the incident was described as a minor collision, the wife of Ravi Verma, Deputy Commissioner of the Industries Department, created a ruckus in the public to allegedly show off power in front of the tractor driver.

The woman was travelling with her father towards Kanpur when a tractor rear-ended their car near Rani Laxmibai Tiraha, causing damage to the vehicle’s rear section, local media reported.
As the tractor hit her vehicle and caused damage to it, she got out of the car, pursued the tractor driver, and forcefully dragged him with his shirt in the public. The altercation apparently led to a brief traffic jam on the highway, drawing the attention of passersby.
Station in-charge Rakesh Kumar told the media no official complaint was filed by either party, the situation was resolved after mutual discussion and settlement.
"After the tractor owner compensated for the damage caused to the car, both the parties reached a settlement and both the parties took their vehicles and went to their destination. No one was killed/injured. Traffic is moving normally", Hamirpur police said on X.
