According to a report by NDTV, the man named Rajkumar Gurjar was driving his vehicle without a FASTag- which automatically deducts toll charges from an online wallet. The man claimed that he was a local and hence should be exempted from paying the toll charges. But he didn't have any document to prove that.

"He said he was a local. I said but I don't know you. Then I went and informed the supervisor. The supervisor asked him if I knew the man. I said no, and then the man got out of his vehicle, abused me and hit me. I also hit him back," said the toll booth employee, Anurandha Dangi.

The woman, Anuradha Dangi, filed a written complaint against the man and we lodged a case based on that. We have registered a case under 354, 323 (voluntarily causing hurt) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and Section 3 of the Prevention of Damage to Public Property Act. The accused is yet to be arrested," said the local police station in-charge Ramkumar Raghuvanshi.

More laws and rules should be implied to protect the modesty of women in these cases.
