New Delhi: A 24-year-old Belgian woman was allegedly molested by an Ola cab driver in southeast Delhi’s CR Park on Saturday evening.
According to police, a case regarding the incident was registered at the CR Park police station after the woman filed a written complaint.
Deputy Commissioner of Police, Mandeep Singh Randhawa said that around 9.30pm on Saturday, the Delhi Police got information from a woman, who told the cops that she was molested by a cab driver. The victim, who is in India with a female colleague, had booked a cab from Gurgaon and was on her way to meet a friend.
Police said that the woman came on the front seat to show her destination in Delhi as the driver had claimed that the GPS system of the cab was not working.
"We have detained the driver, Raj Singh, a resident of Alwar in Rajastan after the complaint," Deputy Commissioner of Police, Mandeep Singh Randhawa said.
The cab service provider immediately issued a statement that they have terminated the accused driver. “The said driver has been terminated from the platform with immediate effect. We will share all required information with the authorities to help resolve this for the customer. We have zero tolerance to such behaviour from drivers on the platform," Ola said in a press statement.
