The 32-year-old known locally as Jagbir, claimed his car had been struck by another on a road in the Indrapuram district of the northern Indian city of Ghaziabad.
After a minor argument between the two two drivers broke out, police intervened and asked them to pull over.
But both Jagbir the other driver tried to flee the scene, according to bystanders.
He then got out of his car and jumped onto the bonnet of the other car as it drove off.
Clutching on to the windscreen wipers, he held on to the windscreen wipers as the car continued driving down the road for over a mile.
"As Jagbir parked his car, the other driver tried to flee with his vehicle and the victim tried to come in front of the bonnet in order to stop his car but was driven on it instead," a witness said. "A few road users who saw the mishap unfold took out their camera and shot the incident."
After driving for around a-mile-and-a-half, "Jagbir then asked the man to come out of his vehicle," they added.
After the car came to a halt, the driver got out of the vehicle and was handed over to the police by the assembled crowd.
