Reckless behavior and intimidation by a truck driver at the Luharli Toll Plaza in Greater Noida has thrown into relief growing concerns over toll mafia activities and safety. The incident took place in the Dadri police jurisdiction, where a truck driver resorted to threatening the toll plaza staff when he was asked to pay the toll fee.
