The viral video shows the girl sitting on a road divider, carrying a bunch of roses, and scream-crying after the driver allegedly slapped her for chasing his vehicle to sell roses. Shikhar, who was on his motorcycle, noticed her and tried to console her. He also offered her money; however, she refused and continued crying.
Sharing the details of the incident, Shikhar wrote, 'She didn't cry because she didn't get the money… she cried because the world failed her. An auto driver slapped her for chasing after his auto to sell a rose. I stopped, listened, and tried to comfort her. She refused money, not out of pride, but pain. Let's be better humans. Be the reason someone believes kindness still exists.'
The text on the video displayed, 'I consoled her by gently placing my hand on her head and tried to explain that she shouldn't run after vehicles like that.'

The video quickly caught the Internet's attention, sparking outrage against the auto-rickshaw driver. 'Hitting someone for any reason except self defence is not acceptable at all….this is quite heartbreaking… the fact that people can just casually use violence without any cause and consequences … shame,' a user wrote. 'So much stress that you'll assault a young girl struggling to earn!? Sick. This is just so cruel!' another user commented.
'You know it's not for sympathy when she rejected the money. Man my heart aches,' a third user reacted. 'It's heartbreaking. Thank you for trying to pacify her. Hope that auto guy is reported or if the cameras caught him in the act,' a fourth user wrote.

Donald Trump faces backlash after social media post supporting Pam Bondi
Source: X/ Donald Trump Sometimes intentions don't always translate into results. Former U.S. President Donald Trump had hoped that his post on his social media platform, Truth Social, would help quiet the noise surrounding Attorney General Pam Bondi's involvement in the Jeffrey Epstein memo controversy. But it didn't happen that way. In his candid post, Trump wrote, 'What's going on with my 'boys' and, in some cases, 'gals?' They're all going after Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is doing a FANTASTIC JOB! We're on one Team, MAGA, and I don't like what's happening. We have a PERFECT Administration, THE TALK OF THE WORLD, and 'selfish people' are trying to hurt it, all over a guy who never dies, Jeffrey Epstein.' However, this post was quickly ratioed on Truth Social. That's a rare occurrence on a platform largely built for and by his loyal base. Being ratioed means that a particular post received more replies than likes, often signaling public disapproval, and is usually seen on platforms like X. Currently, Trump's post has 32.7k comments and less than 30k likes, an evident proof that his followers have not appreciated his post. One user wrote, 'This is going to cost you so many supporters. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is it legal?

We the people are tired of it.……' Another wrote, 'My wanting pedophiles to be punished for their crimes doesn't make me less of a patriot, but more. I don't understand the reason for your current attitude and frankly I'm beyond the point of caring. I do care about justice, wether you approve or not.' A third user shared the sentiment, 'You promised us Sir. Putting your MAGA base down is not going to make this go away. Pam Bondi has LIED to us time and time again. Who is advising you?' While this goes on endlessly on social media still, reports have suggested that Trump has continued to rally support behind Pam Bondi privately, too. As per a CNN report, Trump's inner circle has reached out to some of Bondi's most vocal critics, asking them to calm it down a notch on their criticism. They also made it clear that Trump, at this moment, was not getting rid of his attorney general.
