Mahindra Thar Owner Protests Poor Service by Donkey-Dragging SUV
A man named Ganesh bought a new Mahindra Thar car but it had many problems right from the beginning.
He tried to get the car fixed at the dealership several times, but the issues like water leaking, bad gas mileage, and engine noise wouldn't go away.
Frustrated, he decided to protest in a very unusual way.
He tied two donkeys to his car and made them pull it all the way to the car dealership.
He even had music playing during his protest.
Videos of this unique protest went viral online, drawing attention to his bad experience with the car and its service.
A Mahindra Thar owner, Ganesh Sangade, protested poor post-sales service at Mahindra Sahyadri Motors in Wakad.
Sangade tied donkeys to his SUV and dragged it to the showroom to voice his dissatisfaction.
The owner reported multiple persistent issues with the car, including water leakage, low mileage, paint damage, rust, and engine noise.
He claimed the problems were not resolved despite taking the vehicle to the dealership multiple times.
Videos of the donkey-led protest, accompanied by traditional dhol tasha music, have gone viral on social media.
