She continued to pummel him despite his pleading for her to let him go, with a friend recording the incident. The video was followed by an instant public reaction. Most people condemned the girl’s actions. Many of the users condemned the apparent misuse of “women empowerment,” while others condemned the girl for resorting to violence in solving conflicts. A later video circulating shows the girl challenging the police in public, asking them to take action, further fueling the controversy. Many people are now questioning the moral and legal implications of such acts.

A user asked, “Is this what women empowerment looks like? Beating someone up over a small argument? The auto driver’s words suggest he didn’t do anything wrong. This kind of arrogance has no place in society.” Another commented, “Shameful! This ‘Ladki Hun, Lad Sakti Hun’ girl from Mirzapur disrespects true empowerment by assaulting someone. True strength lies in respect, not violence!”

The incident has sparked calls for justice, with many demanding strict action against the girl for her aggressive behavior. Others feel that using violence for social media clout is not acceptable, and it is the responsibility of law enforcement to ensure swift action to protect the victim. The Mirzapur police have taken note of the incident and are reportedly investigating to bring fairness to the case and ensure that such behavior doesn’t go unchecked.

As the debate rages on in cyber space, this incident reminds how quickly social media can amplify situation and sentiment toward real-world ends.
