New Delhi: The woman who accused TaxiForSure driver of obscenity has claimed that she feel threatens as he knows her home and offices addresses. "The driver knows my home and office, I feel threatened," she said.
A Delhi woman has accused a TaxiForSure driver of indulging in vulgar act while he was dropping her from South Delhi's Saket to Faridabad. Recalling her ordeal, the woman said, "I boarded the cab on July 2 at 9:30pm. The first half of the journey was fine. During the ride while I was on a phone call, the driver played music loudly. I asked the cab driver to keep the volume low. When I was about 25 minutes away from my destination, the driver got impatient and kept motioning something to himself. I asked him to drive properly. I noticed he was masturbating while driving," the woman said.
"It was the most disgusting thing I have ever seen in a long time. I confronted him but he asked what have I done wrong," she added"
The woman detailed her ordeal on social networking sites Facebook and Twitter on July 3. "I complained to TaxiForSure and their limited reply was we will take action in 24 hours. I had no other option but to take to social media," she said.
However, in a statement, app based cab service TaxiForSure said, "We regret the experience the passenger had, and we condemn the driver's actions. We will continue to work closely with the passenger and will support her and the authorities in every possible manner, as and when required."
On her Facebook page, the woman wrote that she had dialled Olacab for a taxi and a TaxiForSure cab came to pick her. Olacab has acquired TaxiForSure.
In her tweet, she said that she met two representatives of TaxiForSure who informed her about termination of the accused driver. "So I met 2 reps frm @TFSCares at my office today who ensured they've fired the driver in question (sic). My only question to them: Is it enough?" she posted on Twitter.
A 'TaxiForSure' spokesperson said, "The incident was regrettable. We have terminated the driver. He has been blacklisted by our company."
The alleged incident comes weeks after an Uber driver was accused of "trying to kiss and molest" a woman professional. The woman demanded that action be taken against the driver, Devinder Kumar, and he be sent to jail.
