Vadodara (Gujarat), January 28: In a shocking incident, a young man who was out on bail created chaos in the middle of the road on Monday, January 27 morning. The people were shocked to witness the man present with a fire extinguisher in his hand and vandalising vehicles on the road.
The incident occurred around 10 AM, where a young man was seen wandering with a fire extinguisher on a road approximately 200 meters from the Gotri Police Station. The accused who has been identified as Dheeraj Kanojiya (27) caused chaos by stopping passing car drivers and demanding their mobile phones.

The individual’s actions resulted in the damage of several vehicles and injuries to three people. Witnesses reported that he controlled the road for nearly 30 minutes, leaving commuters and residents in fear. However, some courageous individuals eventually intervened and subdued him.
