      BOOM found that the video is not recent, and is at least as old as November 2021.

      A keyword search of the incident led us to a video by India Today published on November 19, 2021.


      According to this report, the incident took place in New Delhi's Patel Nagar. The woman was enraged when the cab driver did not give her space to pass through the traffic, which led to her slapping him. The report also mentioned that the police was trying to trace the woman with the help of her scooter's license plate.

      A similar report was also published by Hindustan Times. Watch here.

      The reports have mentioned that videos of the incident started appearing on Twitter around November 17, after which the incident went viral. However, the earliest post we have found is from November 11.
