Bengaluru: A woman from Bengaluru made serious allegations against an Uber auto driver. She claimed that he tried to hit her and refused to drop her at her destination. The incident sparked a discussion on social media. Uber India and Bengaluru Police responded to the incident.
In a now-removed post, the woman named Aimee stated, “This is not the first or even the second time I’ve had a negative experience with an Uber driver.” She explained that the driver refused to drop her at the location she had entered and then, became aggressive when she asked him to do so.

Things took a different turn when she tried to note the auto’s registration number. “He became aggressive and attempted to hit me,” said the woman. Speaking in the video, the woman claimed that the registered number on the app was different to the one on the vehicle.
“We choose Uber expecting safety and reliability, but unfortunately, incidents like this continue to happen. It’s deeply disappointing and concerning. I strongly urge you to take strict action against this kind of behaviour,” said Aimee in the caption.
The post immediately went viral. Netizens were enraged. “Being a Banglorian I felt too bad for you, the auto driver who is in the video has to be punished,” said one. Another informed the woman, “There is a button in the app called ’panic’ or ‘emergency’ button. Next time use that.”
Meanwhile, Uber India and Bengaluru Police took note of the harrowing incident. Uber India commented, “Hi Aimee, we are concerned to see this and would like to investigate. We’ve sent you a message requesting additional details, please check your direct messages so we can look into this.”
The police, on the other hand, asked her to send them location details and her contact number.
