Watch: Drunk passenger throws beer bottle outside car window in Kolkata; driver schools him in viral video

A video filmed during a nighttime cab ride allegedly in Kolkata is going viral on social media, showing a disturbing moment when a passenger drinks alcohol inside the vehicle and unhesitatingly throws a glass beer bottle out of the window. The driver’s quick and firm response has sparked praise online.

Shared on X by a user named 'Incognito', the clip is recorded via a dashcam placed inside the vehicle. Overlay text reading “fully drunk” describes the scene, as the video captures a man entering the cab and then sipping from a beer. Seconds after, he recklessly throws the alcohol bottle out on the road — an act that could have easily injured pedestrians or caused road hazards.

Though the passenger’s face is blurred to maintain privacy, the video clearly records him drinking onboard and carelessly discarding the bottle.

Driver calls out drunk passenger

The cab driver immediately calls him out, saying, “Are aisa nahi karte hain bhai (This is not done, brother)." The people onboard, however, show no remorse and respond with a dismissive attitude: “Hum log dekh lenge (We will handle it)."

While the exact location of the incident remains unverified, most users believe it took place in Kolkata.

Internet reacts

The clip has triggered a wave of online reactions, with many users supporting the cab driver for standing up against the passenger’s irresponsible behaviour.

"Cab driver is 100% right here," echoed comments, applauding the driver for prioritising road safety and showing civic responsibility.
