An Ola cab driver has been arrested for filming a woman passenger while she was heading for her office in Chanakyapuri, New Delhi, reported TNN. The driver has been arrested for “an act of voyeurism and for using words and gesture to outrage the modesty of a woman”, the police said.
The woman who works with a private firm claimed that she had booked the cab from her house in south Delhi on July 8 to travel to Chanakyapuri. On the way, she noticed that the cab driver was holding his phone in a peculiar way. A few minutes later, she realised that the front camera of his mobile phone was switched on and it had her photograph on the screen. When she confronted him, he claimed that he was browsing through the photographs of his daughter.
The woman, however, managed to snatch his phone and scan the photographs. She found a few video clips of her. She called the police and forced him to stop the vehicle near Dhaula Kuan. A police team reached the spot and took the driver in custody.
According to Ola officials, the driver was terminated after they received a complaint.
