The entire incident was filmed and posted on social media, showing her arguing in an abusive manner with the Motorway Police officer for being pulled over for speeding.
Later, another such incident took place near Kallar Kahar where two ladies "misbehaved" with Motorway Police personnel, threatening and hurling abuses at them during the quarrel.
The video of the incident went viral on social media, in which they were heard alleging that the Motorway personnel hurt one of the women while trying to "snatch" her mobile phone while she was making the cops’ video.
