"One Of The Most Unsafe Places": Mumbai Woman Recounts Terrifying Encounters With Delhi Cab Drivers
A Mumbai-based woman, Ruchika Lohiya, has shared a harrowing experience with cab drivers during her recent trip to Delhi. In an Instagram post, Ms Lohiya recounted two separate incidents involving Uber and Rapido drivers that left her feeling deeply unsafe. She described the encounters as traumatic and highlighted how both rides turned into distressing ordeals. Her account has sparked fresh outrage online, prompting renewed discussion about the safety of women travelling alone in Delhi. In the post, Ms Lohiya recalled booking a Rapido ride from Delhi Airport and requested the driver to turn on the air conditioning. However, he angrily refused, saying, "It will be turned on at my will. If you need AC that badly, book another cab." After the altercation, Ms Lohiya approached Rapido's help desk at the airport. While the staff was polite, she said she ultimately had to book an Uber to continue her journey to Noida. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ruchika Lohiya (@__chikka) Midway through the long Uber ride, Ms Lohiya said that she fell asleep for a brief moment and woke up to find the driver filming her. At first, she was in denial. She thought that the driver might be watching one of her Instagram videos. However, moments later, she realised that he was recording her. Panicked, she alerted her sister and shared the cab details. Her sister advised her to get out of the car immediately. Pretending to be unaware of the driver's actions, Ms Lohiya told him she needed to hand something to a friend who had just arrived. She then grabbed her suitcase, stepped out of the vehicle, and ran to a crowded area, where she booked another cab. Ms Lohiya described the incident as one of the most traumatic experiences of her life. "One of the mosttt unsafe places to visit, don't know when will it get better but it's surely getting worse!" she wrote in the caption of her post. Ms Lohiya shared the nightmarish ordeal just a day ago, and since then, the video has garnered over 2 million views. The clip has also caught the attention of both Rapido and Uber. Rapido responded to the video, stating: "We apologise for the trouble caused on your recent ride. This is not the kind of service we aim to provide. Kindly share your registered mobile number and ride ID via DM so that we can assist you further." "Hi Ruchika, this is extremely concerning to hear. Uber takes rider safety very seriously, so we'd like to look into this. Please DM us your Uber account and trip details so we can further investigate," wrote Uber.

Parents Hire Detective To Spy On DU Student, Find Her Near Brothel: ‘So Aniruddhacharya Was Right'
Last Updated: The detectives eventually found out that the girl had chosen this idea to get money for shopping and other excursions. A video detailing a Delhi couple's attempt to spy on their daughter has sparked debate online. The clip featured Tanya Puri, a private detective, talking about how the couple suspected their daughter of having a secret boyfriend so they hired a private investigator to trail her. The video has led to a lot of discussion, especially as one person mentioned Swami Aniruddhacharya's recent statements about women over 25 years having loose morals. The spiritual speaker had also claimed that girls should be married around the age of 14 so that they can adjust better with their in-laws. What Happened In The Clip In a podcast interview, Puri talked about the parents who had hired her company to spy on their daughter, who was a student at Delhi University. She mentioned that they had trailed the girl for a few days and found nothing out of the ordinary. One day, they saw the girl going to GTB Nagar. She reached an area where there were brothels and prostitutes. The detectives eventually realised that the girl had chosen this path to get some extra money to shop for high-end clothes and go out with her friends. Many slammed the parents for hiring a detective. 'Parents could afford spy but they dint have money to provide for their daughter? Waooooo," a comment read. Some others were curious about the financial situation of the family. 'Sounds fishy…. Family is so Orthodox to not allow having a boyfriend and give enough expenses to go shopping and live lavishly but can afford a private investigator to snoop on their daughter. Wow," an account remarked. 'Isn't this invasion of privacy….. Following someone without their permission," another claimed. One person said that parents should talk frankly with their children instead of hiring detectives to spy on them. What Aniruddhacharya Later Claimed About His Statement The spiritual speaker had later claimed that his words had been taken out of context to create a misleading narrative. In an apology video on Instagram, suggested that AI could have been used to modify the video. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
