Mumbai, Dec. 22 -- On slapping an auto-rickshaw driver, BJP MLA Parag Shah, on Sunday, said that "it happened in a moment of anger", claiming that the driver was driving recklessly at a breakneck speed, which the female passenger in the rickshaw also complained of.

During a protest against encroachment in Ghatkopar, Parag Shah told ANI that, "An auto-rickshaw was coming from the wrong side. We signalled him to stop. But he wasn't ready to stop, and the speed he was going at was like someone driving a racing car on an expressway. He was stopped by all the workers together. The lady passenger sitting in the rickshaw said that she had been telling him for a long time to drive the rickshaw properly. But this man wasn't ready to listen..."
