A Mumbai commuter, Teena Choudhry, went viral after confronting officials and BJP leader Girish Mahajan during a severe traffic jam allegedly caused by a political rally in Worli on April 21.

In her initial video, she questioned the disruption and demanded action to clear the blocked road. The clip sparked widespread attention online.

Later, Choudhry issued a clarification stating she is safe and that the situation was eventually resolved after intervention. She explained she had been stuck in traffic for nearly 25 minutes before attempting to speak with police officials and requesting that obstructing buses be moved to ease congestion.

She also clarified that she threw a bottle on the ground only to draw attention, not at anyone. According to her, Mahajan was the only person who engaged with her concerns, and after his intervention, the buses were moved, allowing traffic to resume.

Mahajan acknowledged the inconvenience caused by the rally and stated that traffic disruption was unintended.

This incident has reignited discussion around traffic management during large political gatherings in urban areas like Mumbai.

00:00Hello, I'm sure a lot of you have seen a lady, a girl who was wearing a black cap on
00:06the 21st April during the worldly mahila murcha.
00:10That girl I am.
00:11My name is Tina Chaudhary and I'm sending this message to you to clarify some things.
00:16I've received so many messages regarding my safety. I want to let you know that I'm fine and I appreciate
00:23the concern.
00:24That day, I left my wife at 4.00 in her music class. I was meant to pick her up
00:29at 4.45.
00:31When I took a left turn from Mahindra, I was there in the jam.
00:35I was in the car in the 25 minutes.
00:38When the traffic didn't hit, I got out to find out the problem.
00:41Only to realize that the buses behind us are parked.
00:45It didn't stop the hill for the next one and a half hours, I went there to request them that
00:53if you take two buses and we can make a U-turn and join the main road.
00:58I received no reaction, no response.
01:02You know, nobody, no one has heard my voice.
01:04I didn't hear that bottle, no protestor or rally, but on the ground to attract the attention of the police
01:11people because there was a divider in my waste here.
01:15I would like to say one thing here.
01:17My grandfather served in the Indian Army.
01:20My father served in the Indian Army.
01:22He fought two wars for this country.
01:25My family has 8 people who served in the Indian Army.
01:28I would like to underline the word served.
01:32Because when you wear a uniform, you are in public service.
01:36It does not give you the right or the license to dismiss someone, be disrespectful or to be intimidating.
01:44Do I just a woman, any human?
01:47Regarding my outburst with Mr. Mahajan.

02:02On his instructions, the two buses were moved,
02:05aur ham sab ne U-turn liya, aur ham main road join kar paai.
02:10Now, I would like to bring up one really important thing here.
