Overview
- The short clip shows an unidentified man driving a Mahindra Thar against traffic while claiming the SUV lets him flout rules without objection, even saying he paid Rs 20 lakh for that privilege.
- Off-roader Rattan Dhillon reshared the video on X with a post condemning what he called a dangerous “Thar mentality,” helping the footage gain wide attention.
- Viewers criticized the behavior and appealed to traffic authorities to act, with many urging licence suspension and fines and some tagging Anand Mahindra to press for stronger corporate messaging or buyer screening.
- Multiple outlets reported that the video's location has not been confirmed, and at least one said it could not independently verify the post's details or authenticity.
- Coverage placed the clip alongside recent Thar-related violations, including a December 2025 Ballabhgarh fine for feet-only driving, a March 2025 Noida arrest and penalty for wrong-side collisions, and a December 2024 Ghaziabad seizure over dangerous stunts.
