I pulled the cigarette from the youth’s mouth and threw it out of the auto. He then punched my face near the eye and abused me. When I objected, he again hit me on the nose and it started to bleed.

The auto driver stopped the auto and people nearby gathered there and then I informed the police and my family”, the complaint read.
