Delhi is counted among the worst cities, when it comes to security of women, isn’t it? However, it is good that cops are always alarmed and ready to help someone who needs help desperately. Yes, a young girl named Priyanka Gusain had a very embarrassing and bad experience when she was travelling through an Ola cab.
Do you want to know what happened with Priyanka? Well, the Ola cab driver took a video recording of her and obviously, she became very angry on seeing that. She posted the same on Facebook. Have a look at the post she made to Ola!
The post read
“I am going to narrate something that happened with me in an OLA cab.
*This is a caution advice to all females and an eye-opener for OLA’
It was 12:43 PM and I was travelling to Chanakyapuri in an Ola cab. My driver’s name was Abhilash Singh, CRN No. 299860428.
As the cab moved on for the destination, I went about checking my emails and answering some important work related phone calls. However, I sensed something extremely strange about the cab driver. His body posture was defensive and he would constantly look at me in the rear view mirror. Not knowing whether to trust my gut feeling, I discounted it as my brain telling me to be cautious.
Moments later, my attention was pulled towards a phone which was neatly placed at an angle on his hand which allowed the aforementioned driver to very easily and comfortably record the happenings in the cab.
It was then that it hit me; he might have been recording a video. I did not realise this initially but the moment I sat in his car, his phone’s front camera was fixed in my direction.
I asked him to pull over and confiscated his phone. What I saw left me shocked.
There it was, a video of me, all of me. My every gesture, movement, each word uttered was recorded on his phone. Never in my life did I ever feel this violated.
Imagine, had I not known, some random stranger would have been walking around with a video of me in his phone, in his pocket, meant to be shared or something.
In what I thought was my privacy and the comfort for which I paid, I was violated.
I handed the guy over to the police because tomorrow CV such videos may fail to satisfy what he seek.
The policeman told me something frankly ‘madam, ye choot jayega, it’s a bailable offense’.
The driver is probably out right now, driving some girl somewhere and violating her in ways the law does not seem to recognize.
I want to urge Ola to take strong action against this employee because if need be, I will escalate this matter further. #olatakeaction
As soon as Priyanka felt that something is wrong, she immediately asked the driver to show his phone. The driver lied that he was just saving some pictures of his daughter. When Priyanka asked for those pictures, he didn’t have any answer and finally, gave up.
She was upset to see her video recorded in it. Priyanka screamed at the driver, on which he got super-scared and started touching her feet to forgive him. She took him straight to the police but unfortunately officials told her that the driver would be released in a day since the offence is a bailable one.
Moreover, after Priyanka posted this on Ola’s wall, do you know what kind of response they gave? They just said “Apologies for the bad experience the team will get in touch with you regarding the issue”
After this, Priyanka threatened the company that she will take strict actions if no step is taken against the driver. On this, Ola took the necessary steps and blocked the Ola app of the driver so that he cannot take any booking.
Isn’t security decreasing day by day? What do you feel about this incident guys? Do let us know this incident in our comments section below!
