Company suspends him…
A woman stated that a Rapido driver sexually harassed her in Bengaluru.
She shared this horrific incident that took place when she was travelling on a Rapido bike from the Tin Factory area to Kormangala around 8:30 pm on Saturday.
The user who goes by the account u/CaregiverDifferent70 on Reddit stated that the driver asked her to allow him to use his phone to navigate the route since his phone was low on battery.
"Initially he said his phone battery was dead so he needed my phone to see maps. I gave. Later he asked about my details. A lot of drivers are chatty so I was replying," she said in the post.
They stopped at the petrol pump for refuelling and then the driver crossed her thighs twice to get a key below the back seat. "After that, we stopped at a petrol pump for a refill and after I sat he remembered that his key was there below the backseat.
He felt cross my thighs twice to fetch that key. I was horrified. I said bhaiya you could have simply asked for the key to me," she continued.
The woman added that the man sat so close to her inner thighs that it started hurting at one point.
Later, he sat over my inner thighs closely sticking his ass to my crotch. And he was pressing it from time to time so hard that it pained.
I was horrified by what was happening. I was so scared. I couldn't even ask him what he was doing.
It went on for around 20 minutes till we reached a crowded area. I was mortified. I was praying to God that I would reach my destination and somehow bear that pain.
I didn't dare to stop or slap him right away. He was doing it intentionally. What was he even thinking, I was shocked" the Bengaluru resident stated.
