A Bengaluru woman has accused a Rapido bike taxi driver of masturbating during her trip and sending her inappropriate messages. In a Twitter post, the woman spoke of her ordeal and alleged that the man began masturbating in the middle of the road and continued to drive with one hand despite his request to stop the ride.
“During the trip, we arrived in a remote area with no other vehicles around. Shockingly, the driver began riding with one hand and engaging in inappropriate behavior (masturbating while riding a bike),” she wrote.

“Fearing for my safety, I remained silent throughout the ordeal,” she added.
Bengaluru City Police has now responded to her tweet, and has informed that they will take necessary action in this regard.
The woman also claimed that the driver arrived on a different bike than the one shown on the app. He explained that the person registered in the application is subject to maintenance.
“I asked him to drop me 200 meters before my actual destination to hide the location of my home,” she said.
The woman also alleged that after the ride, the driver began calling her constantly and texting her on WhatsApp. She also shared a photo of his texts on Twitter, writing, “I had to block his number to stop the harassment.”
The woman had booked a bike, after several cancellations by taxi drivers and was returning from attending the Manipur violence protest at Town Hall in Bangalore.
