Ashwath tried stopping the cabbie for the cause for which he got out of his car. When he realized that Muneer was not listening, he climbed on the bonnet of the cab to stop it. Little did Ashwath know that it would change everything for him. Muneer in response seemingly tried fleeing from the spot with acceleration due to which the car owner got dragged for around 400 metres and eventually collided with a pole.
As locals saw the incident and approached to intervene, the cab driver slammed the brakes in order to escape causing Ashwath to fall off.
