Police on Thursday arrested the Ola driver who allegedly abandoned a woman passenger on an isolated stretch of Begur Road on Monday after she insisted he take the tolled Ballari Road on her way back from Kempegowda International Airport.
The swift action comes hours after TOI reported the incident in its Thursday’s edition. Police will book the cab aggregator on charges of endangering the life of a passenger, said DCP (northeast) Bheemashankar S Guled.
Earlier in the day, Bengaluru city police commissioner Bhaskar Rao warned cab aggregators against ignoring commuter safety. He told reporters, “We will initiate action against Ola for ignoring passengers’ security despite repeated directives. The aggregator has been told to ensure its vehicles don’t take Begur Road from Kempegowda International Airport at night as the stretch lacks streetlights. Despite sensitisation, Ola authorities haven’t taken any measures.”
