In an emotional interview, retired Colonel Anil Yadav recounts the terrifying assault he survived on a Gurgaon road-allegedly dragged out of his car, beaten with his own metal bottle, kidnapped, and extorted by a group of drunk men after a minor collision. Hospitalised for two nights with head and rib injuries, the veteran says the attack reflects a deeper breakdown in public safety and calls for swift police action, warning that a young woman in his place may not have survived the ordeal.
