This video caused quite a flutter with many questioning how dealership personnel could beat up a customer. In its defense, the Jeep dealer noted that the customer had used foul language against dealership staff, angering them and resulting in this situation. Back then, Jeep India had promised to investigate this matter. Here’s the latest statement, which also details the action that’s been taken against the erring dealership employees.
Jeep India says,
