Dushyant Chautala-Haryana Police row: Road rage or power play? A bit of both

The interception of former Deputy CM Dushyant Chautala’s vehicle by the police in a congested area in Hisar city on Saturday has apparently turned out to be an incident of road rage. When such an incident involves a politically powerful figure and the police, it brings out two contrasting aspects. One, that the current status matters more, and how such an incident can cut a once powerful figure down to size. Two, how VVIPs and cops behave on roads, even as they underscore the need to remain calm and be mindful of rules while driving.
