A video shared online by Thomas Simte shows an alarming case of harassment involving both an Uber passenger and the driver whose bike he had booked via the Uber app in Bengaluru. The footage reveals local rickshaw driver aggressively harassing Thomas, pulling his backpack, and demanding that he cancel his ride. Despite Thomas repeatedly stating, “Why are you harassing this person? Let me go. If people want to take an Uber, they will take Uber; if people want to take an auto, they will take auto; if you want to go to the police station, it’s right here,” the rickshaw drivers persisted. In the video, one of the rickshaw drivers attempts to slap Thomas, and towards the end, someone hits his camera. The incident occurred near Indiranagar Metro Station and was shared on X (formerly Twitter) with the caption: “Getting harassed if we take @Uber_India bikes or Auto instead of the regular rickshaw. This happened to me in Indiranagar Metro station.” Thomas tagged the handles of Bangalore Police, Uber Support, Uber Support India, and Uber Bangalore. In his post, Thomas wrote, “I am not exaggerating when I say this happens every day to these riders. He pulled my bag from behind to get me down the bike. I want strict action against this harassment of passengers and riders if they take Uber or any other mode of transport other than the bystanders.” The official handle of Bengaluru Police responded to his tweet, stating, “Please share your contact number via DM. In case of distress/emergency situation, dial #Namma 112.” Bengaluru Man Books Cabs on Ola and Uber, Ends Up Getting Same Driver for Both Rides; His Post on X Goes Viral.
