Rapido Bike Driver Masturbated During Ride, Complains Female Passenger

Bengaluru: In a shameful act of perverse behaviour, a Rapido bike taxi driver allegedly masturbated even as a female passenger rode pillion.

The woman took to social media to share her absolutely cringe-worthy experience here on Friday.

The woman posted on Twitter that she had hailed the Rapido bike to return home after attending a protest held against Manipur violence. Multiple cancellations of auto rickshaw taxis forced her to opt for a bike ride, she added.

She alleged that the Rapido driver arrived on a bike which was different from the one registered on the app. Once the driver explained that the other bike was undergoing servicing, the woman confirmed the ride via the app and embarked on the journey.

En route, the man started masturbating while driving the motorcycle with his other hand, the woman wrote.

“During the journey, we reached a remote area with no other vehicle around. Shockingly, the driver began riding with one hand and engaging in inappropriate behaviour (masturbating while riding the bike). Fearing for my safety, I remained silent throughout the ordeal,” she wrote.

She got down a few metres away from her home. But despite making full payment for the ride, the woman said that the driver kept calling and texting her. She shared a screenshot of the inappropriate message allegedly sent by the driver on WhatsApp and blocked him.

“I asked him to drop me 200 metres before my actual destination to conceal my home location. Once the ride was over, he started calling and messaging me relentlessly on WhatsApp. I had to block his number to stop the harassment,” she tweeted.

Tagging the bike taxi aggregator, the woman questioned the measures taken to ensure safety of customers and added that the driver continued to harass her from other phone numbers.

“What measures are you taking for background verification? Your users’ safety should be a top priority. Please ensure that people registered with your service can be trusted for a safe travel experience,” she added.

Bengaluru police responded by asking for the user’s contact details.

“We have informed to@sjparkps to take necessary action in this regard, Please DM your contact number,” the city police wrote from its official Twitter handle.
