A Rapido bike taxi rider in Bengaluru has been booked for allegedly trying to grab a woman passenger’s legs during a ride on Thursday afternoon. The incident took place around 4 pm, following which the woman approached the Wilson Garden Police, who have registered an FIR and launched an investigation.
In an Instagram post describing the ordeal, the woman said the rider tried to touch her legs while riding from Church Street to her paying guest accommodation. “It happened so suddenly that I couldn’t process it. When he did it again, I said, ‘Bhaiya, kya kar rahe ho, mat karo,’ but he didn’t stop,” she wrote.
