You may never have thought that the killer traffic jam at Gurugram may turn out to be a blessing in disguise for someone. In a fortunate (and amusing) turn of events, miscreants who tried to abduct the toll plaza official at Kherki Daula, Gurugram, let go of him after getting stuck in a traffic jam.

The incident took place at around 10:15 am, when a man driving a Mercedes car refused to pay the toll tax of Rs 60.

The accused also presented a fake driving licence, following which the accused and Manoj Kumar, the toll booth’s assistant manager ended up in a heated argument.

An hour later, the same Mercedes returned with three more men and another 15 men riding a Toyota Fortuner. They then abducted Manoj Kumar at gun point.

The gang, however, refrained from opening fire as they were inching closer to the toll booth. They chose to drive off some 150 metres away from the booth and thrash Kumar black and blue.

As the traffic at the toll plaza kept increasing, the abductors had no other choice but to let go off the manager. Speaking to HT, Manoj Kumar said, ‘They feared being seen or caught trying to take me away.’

The Kherki Daula police have registred a case for assault and abduction under IPC section.

Just a few days ago, a Congress leader refused to pay the toll fee and assaulted an operator at the same booth, however, no action has been taken so far.
