Bengaluru : A woman from Bengaluru alleged that a Rapido bike taxi driver touched her inappropriately during a ride in the city’s central area on Thursday evening. According to reports, her post prompted the Bengaluru City Police and Rapido to react. As of now, she has disabled comments on her public post. Trigger warning: Harassment – Today, 06.11.2025, in Bengaluru, I faced something I never thought I would.
While returning to my PG from Church Street on a Rapido ride, the captain tried to grab my legs while riding. It happened so suddenly that I couldn’t even process it, let alone record it, she wrote in her post. She added, When he did it again, I told him, ‘Bhaiya, kya kar rahe ho, mat karo,’ but he didn’t stop. I was terrified. I couldn’t ask him to stop the bike because I’m new to this place and didn’t know where I was.
She added that she decided to share her story because no woman should have to experience such harassment. “I’m sharing this because no woman should have to go through something like this — not in a cab, not on a bike, not anywhere. This is not the first time something similar has happened to me, but today I just couldn’t stay silent because of how unsafe I felt.
Please stay alert, trust your instincts, and don’t stay silent,” she wrote. Rapido also addressed the matter. “We are concerned to learn about the captain’s inappropriate conduct during your recent ride. Your safety and comfort remain our top priorities. Kindly allow us some time to investigate the matter in detail,” the company said, as per reports.
