BENGALURU: A young woman in Bengaluru took an Ola cab to the airport and suffered a ride to hell as the driver took a detour, allegedly molested her and forced her to strip for photos that he shared on WhatsApp.
The woman, a 26-year-old architect, was on her way to the airport to catch an early flight to Mumbai around 2 am on Friday June 1 when the cab driver allegedly took a different route, just before the toll gate, claiming it was faster.
The woman has told the police that the driver stopped the car at a deserted spot near the airport, locked her in and assaulted her. He allegedly snatched her phone and threatened to call his friends and have her gang-raped if she alerted anyone.
The driver also allegedly forced the woman to strip, after trying to choke her. He took photos and allegedly shared them on WhatsApp.
To escape the driver, the woman allegedly begged him and assured him she would not tell anyone. Convinced, the driver finally dropped her at the airport. She then emailed a complaint to the police.
