Sourav Joshi, the popular YouTuber behind "souravjvlogs", posted a video that detailed a violent encounter on the highway near Haldwani. In the clip, he shows the black Nissan Micra, plate UK04AJ5953, approaching his car, asking him to roll down the window before the men launched a barrage of insults.
The attackers, who reportedly were intoxicated, fled the scene after the exchange. Joshi, driving the family vehicle, pursued the Micra at high speed, eventually spotting it abandoned with the engine still running and phones left inside.
He immediately filed a complaint with the Haldwani police. Police chief Harspal Singh confirmed that officers are combing through CCTV footage from the area to trace the suspects.
With a combined following of over 5 crore across YouTube and Instagram, Joshi’s account has amplified the incident, prompting calls for swift justice. The investigation is slated to produce arrests by the end of next week.
