Gurugram Police subsequently contacted him, seeking his phone number and details of the incident to initiate an investigation.Recounting the incident, Jain said he and his wife were returning home around 11.55 pm on Diwali night when they were chased by the van. They were barely a kilometre away from their home when the pursuit began.

Initially, Jain thought the van was trying to overtake their vehicle. However, he became suspicious when the occupants overtook his car, braked abruptly in front of it and appeared to prepare to step out."I realised this is something off," he wrote, describing how the occupants attempted to block their vehicle and force it to stop.

Instead of pulling over, Jain accelerated towards his residential society, with the van continuing to chase them. He said the occupants made another attempt to cut across their car and stop it before they reached the society gates.The situation escalated when both vehicles arrived at the residential complex.

Security guards intercepted the van, but its occupants stayed at the entrance for nearly 20 minutes, arguing with the guards and demanding to be allowed through.CCTV footage shared by Jain shows one of the men arguing with a security guard. Jain also posted footage from inside his car, saying he was desperately trying to accelerate towards the gates in panic.REAR NUMBER PLATE REMOVEDIn his series of posts, Jain claimed that the van had no rear number plate and its front number plate had been cleared out.

He described two occupants -- one in his mid-20s and another in his late teens.He also shared the vehicle's registration details, identifying it as a Haryana-registered vehicle bearing number HR76D0402, and named a man called Manoj Kumar in his post.Jain said the experience had left his family shaken and that he had taken five days to gather the courage to speak about it publicly."I've moved to Gurgaon about 7 months ago and always thought the road rage, mugging, kidnapping and robbery were incidents seen on Reels. It's finally hit home," he wrote.He further claimed that his friends and family had advised him against speaking about the incident, fearing that it could affect their safety and their freedom to move around as ordinary citizens.According to Jain, the society's security personnel told him that such incidents were common in the area and described the man as a local who should not be messed with.

He also claimed that one of the occupants warned the guards that if the van was spotted again, "it will be taken care of".Questioning the state of security in the area, Jain pointed out that the incident took place barely a kilometre from a police station. He also highlighted the contrast between the incident and the area's ongoing development, describing it as a location where the next Cyber City is being built, with DLF developing a new phase and residential properties worth millions of dollars."Thank God for Dashcams and society security," he wrote, expressing frustration over having to rely on private security guards for protection.POLICE CONTACT JAIN, NO FIR FILEDJain tagged Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, Gurugram Traffic Police, Haryana Police and senior police officials in his posts, seeking attention to the incident and raising concerns about law and order.The posts subsequently gained traction on social media, prompting Gurugram Police to contact him.

In a later update, Jain said he had received a call from Badshahpur SHO Manoj Kumar and Head Constable Samrita.However, he said he had decided against filing an FIR or submitting a written complaint for personal reasons.A senior police officer said the matter was being investigated and action would be taken based on the facts that emerged.- Ends
