A routine auto ride turned into a nightmare for a man in Gurugram. This customer named Manav has uploaded a video on social media, in which he is seen asking questions and answers to his Uber auto-rickshaw driver. It is alleged that the driver stopped the car midway and demanded the passenger to give him liquor. According to the video, the driver parked the auto outside a liquor shop and demanded liquor, which Manav immediately refused. According to reports, as soon as Manav refused to accept this strange demand, the auto driver ended the trip saying that the vehicle was not running properly.
After this the passenger started making video of the driver and interrogated him about the entire incident. However, the driver appeared to deny these allegations. This video quickly went viral, drawing various reactions. Most people commented that if there had been a girl in the passenger’s place, the situation could have been worse. At the same time, some people praised Manav for ‘exposing the driver’.
