A 23-year-old Rapido cab driver was arrested in Gurugram for allegedly masturbating in front of a woman passenger while driving her to work, police said on Friday.

The complainant, a Gurugram resident and software engineer, was reportedly traveling to work in the morning when the incident unfolded.
