A woman in Delhi has accused an Uber cab driver of making lewd comments and misbehaving with her. Amrita Das, a Delhi journalist took to Twitter to share her ordeal and called for action against the driver.
Das said that she was with her husband when the incident took place. ¡®Rude and creepy driver. I demand action. First, he refused to turn on the air conditioner, then says garmi lag rahi hai to aage mere godi me baith jao [If you are feeling hot then come and sit on my lap]. He also ended the trip, moments after starting to drive and forced me out. This is when I was with husband,¡¯ Das Tweeted.
Responding soon after her tweet, Uber support said, ¡®We're so sorry to hear about this. Our team has recently responded via email. Please reply there if you have additional questions.¡¯
Meanwhile, people started responding to the post and tagged Delhi Police, demanding action against the driver. Here are some of the tweets:

While Uber has sacked the driver, Uber spokesperson said in a statement,?¡°What¡¯s been detailed has no place on our platform.?We have removed the individual¡¯s access to the app pending a full investigation.¡±
But still, the questions that arise after this incident is: women, married or not, continue to feel unsafe in Delhi. When will this end, and what are the chances that this is the last such incident?
