This happened at around 3:45 pm. On the junction of garware on sahar raod, near we highway in andheri east, vehicle bearing no. Mh06 bp 0067, a white maruti swift desire car driven for ola as well as uber by driver sunil (Photographs of vehicle as well as driver & vehicle details obtained from vahan. Nic.in are available with me) suddenly started taking a u turn while travelling from we highway side towards andheri koldongri side to go back towards the we highway side. Although the driver had given a turning indicator, but as i was travelling in opposite direction, i. E from koldongri towards we highway in my car & as the road was almost free from any traffic ahead & as the main highway signal had just turned green to go straight towards sahar road parsiwada side, i was almost crossing the said point from where this driver of yours started taking a u turn inadvertently. Even after giving head light indication as well as honking for allowing me to pass through as i was rightfully driving straight, he did not stop & just continued to take the u turn.in the event, he almost crashed into my car & i had to nudge my vehicle left & break my car hard to avoid collision. Not paying any head to this situation created by wrongly & carelessly forcing himself to continue taking his turn, he simply kept on driving ahead. By then the signal had turned red so when i came up parallel to him in another lane, he abused me & gave inappropriate hand gestures of abuse. As soon as the signal turned green again, i was following him, & getting an opportunity to overtake him, i requested him to stop his car so that i could understand what he wanted to abuse me for & also, being an erstwhile traffic consultant, i could explain him his error & the danger that he had posted by not obeying traffic rules & regulations. However, to my surprise, this driver stopped his car in the center of the road & charged out towards my door, pulled open the door & started loudly abusing me. To get out of my car, i had to request him to move behind & so he clasped my fingers with his hands with intention of bending them to break it & almost broke my left hand first finger. As this was a shock & threatening act for me, i was not able to resist & by then he used the sharp end of his car keys to cut my right hand first finger near the nail. It started profusely bleeding. During all this, he was continuously using extreme abusive language. By them, two policemen who were passing by rushed to the spot & released me from his clutches. With my right finger bleeding & left finger twisted & swollen, i showed it to the policemen & they started searching for the traffic policeman at the we highway. Unfortunately, there was no traffic policeman at that time. Hence, i tried calling the traffic police. By then the driver understood that he had made an error but still continuing his arrogant behavior even to the police men, he sat in his car & by saying that he has received some booking, he has to go, he started driving off. By passers also asked him to wait so that the traffic police whom we were trying to call, can come & take cognizance of the situation, atleast when he knows that i have been injured by him. But to everyone's astonishment, he threatened me that he will return back & offered to give his mobile number so that i can call him so that he will come back in a few days & take severe action against me, probably by bringing along some people to beat me up or so, and he drove off. Luckily, just before leaving, i was able to capture the pictures of the car with number plate & his face picture & when asked his name he gave the name sunil & some surname which i couldn't follow. He then just drove off. I've been forced to get my xray of my left finger which has now swollen like a ball & the initial report suggests a minor fracture. I am putting up this complaint to traffic police department & if action is not initiated against the said driver by you, including compensating all my medical expenses, i shall be compelled to take him as well as you to court as party to this criminal act.
