A horrific road rage incident in Nagpur resulted in the tragic death of a 21-year-old truck driver on Sunday. According to police, the deadly confrontation happened at Tathagat Chowk under the Jaripatka police station's jurisdiction.

The incident unfolded around 10 a.m. when victim Vansh alias Atul Arjun Dahare, accompanied by Utkarsh Virkhede, was en route to Wadi after having their vehicle weighed.
