<p data-path-to-node="17"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="">Now the movement gained massive momentum after a tragedy earlier this year.</span><span class=""> In January 2026,</span><span class=""> a 25-year-old driver named Suraj Singh was brutally murdered.</span></span></p>
