In another video, the complainant said that she posted that video to get Uber’s attention about this issue. “… I trust that Uber will pay attention to this issue. Even though public transport is cheaper, we choose these services and pay extra for our safety. Then if we aren’t getting that safety, what’s the point?,” she asked.
Referring to Bengaluru city police, she said, “Even though I hadn’t filed any complaint, they reached out to me. The reason I didn’t file a complaint is that my goal was to bring this issue to Uber’s attention. I didn’t want that particular person to go to jail or be harassed by the public.”
On Saturday, Uber spokesperson noted in a press release: “What has been described is unfortunate and has no place on the Uber platform. Based on the rider’s feedback, the driver’s access to the Uber app has been revoked and the rider fare amount has been refunded. We stand ready to support the law enforcement authorities with all relevant information.”
