In yet another incident of uncouth behavior by cab drivers of private taxi aggregators in Bengaluru towards female customers, a cabbie on Sunday sent an inappropriate text message to a woman, soon after dropping her.

The issue came to light after the cab user posted a complaint on the Bengaluru Traffic Police Facebook page regarding the same early morning on Monday with a screenshot. Following her post, she was told to lodge a written compliant at the nearest police station.
She wrote, “This is the cab drivers number who was assigned to me for a drop. As soon as he completed the trip he sends me a msg. This was from the cab service #taxiforsure. I request you to please take action against this.”
