Only the passenger is in focus', states the report.However, officials have said that there have been no specific complaints relating auto drivers harassing women through rear-view mirrors.   A senior official told Bangalore Mirror that the reason why there have been no complaints is because most don't know that "a rearview mirror inside an auto is illegal. If they were aware of the law, there would have been thousands of cases by now."
