In the video, Prabhavathi Amma is seen walking on the footpath when the scooter rider tries to pass through the pedestrian space. She places her foot in front of the vehicle and refuses to move aside. Even when the rider tries to edge forward, she stands her ground.
At one point, she takes out her mobile phone and starts recording the incident. Soon after, the rider backs off and returns to the main road.
Speaking to the media on Thursday, February 12, she said such violations are common at the junction. “This is not the first time I have stopped someone. Earlier, I used to file complaints,” she said. She added that the rider had asked her to move, but she refused.
Prabhavathi Amma also shared that when she was in school, she was active in Scouts and Guides, where she learned about civic sense and discipline.
