Woman toll booth operator assaulted in Gurugram, hits back

Gurugram: A woman toll collector at Gurrugram’s Kherki Daula toll plaza on Thursday was beaten and manhandled by a commuter after he refused to pay the toll amount. The toll collector had rejected the commuter’s identification card when he was trying to make a pass without paying the fee. She had insisted that the driver pay the toll amount.

However, the commuter got furious leading to a heated argument. Things escalated quickly when the driver got down from the car and slapped her. In retaliation, the female collector also hit him. Other people present in the toll booth tried to intervene and stop the fight. At the end of the CCTV footage, the collector can be seen moving out from the booth.

This is not first, of such incident. Last month a woman toll collector was punched by a commuter at plaza and another toll employee had been injured after a car had allegedly hit him while trying to speed its way past the boom barrier to avoid paying the tax.
