The case came to light after D’Silva, a digital content creator, shared a video detailing her traumatic experience.
Recounting her ordeal in the video, she said, riding along the Pashan-Baner Link Road with her children, she noticed Kekre tailgating her for nearly 2 km. She left enough space for the car to move past her scooter, but Mr Kekre abruptly stopped his car in front of her scooter after overtaking her.
“He stepped out of the car in a rage and started punching and pulling me with my hair. He didn’t even care about the two kids accompanying me. The episode is a reflection on how safe is this city? Why are people behaving like maniacs? I had two kids with me, kuchh bhi ho sakta tha (anything could have happened)… Luckily, a woman came to my help,” said a visibly distressed D’Silva with blood oozing from her nose and mouth.
As the video surfaced on social media, a case was registered against Mr Kekre and he, along with his wife, who was also accompanying him at the time of the incident, was arrested.
