A disturbing incident in Bengaluru has sparked outrage, with a woman accusing a Rapido bike driver of sexually harassing her during a ride on November 6. The woman, who has chosen to remain anonymous, had booked a ride to return to her accommodation from Church Street when the incident occurred. She claimed that the driver, who she referred to as 'the captain,' made unwanted advances, attempting to grab her legs while riding. The woman, visibly shaken, tried to reason with the driver, but he continued his behavior, even gesturing threateningly towards her before leaving. A bystander intervened, confronting the driver, and the woman eventually reached her destination in tears. The incident has left her feeling vulnerable and unsafe. Following the woman's social media post, Rapido expressed concern over the driver's conduct, stating that her safety and comfort were their top priorities. The company assured her that they would investigate the matter thoroughly. In a welcome turn of events, the Bengaluru Police have registered an FIR, and the woman has received support from both the police and Rapido. The company has also checked the footage, which has vindicated the woman's claims. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of women's safety, particularly in the context of ride-hailing services. As the investigation unfolds, it's essential to ensure that justice is served and that measures are taken to prevent such incidents in the future.
