A video circulating online shows a towing van dragging a car with an elderly couple still inside in Noida, India. The incident has sparked outrage and calls for greater safety measures in towing operations.

Following the incident, the local traffic police took swift action. They seized the towing vehicle and registered a case against the employees of the towing contractor involved. Authorities have also begun to investigate the development authority managing the area where the incident occurred, seeking to assign responsibility.
The incident has ignited public debate regarding the safety procedures and the handling of vulnerable individuals like senior citizens during towing operations. Many are now urging for stricter enforcement of existing regulations to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future, ensuring the safety and well-being of all citizens.
