A 23-year-old woman while going for a job interview was thrown off the Ola bike and broke her right leg after the driver hit a stationary rickshaw from behind.
Instead of helping the passenger and taking her to the hospital he fled the spot. He has been booked.
Mrinali Yadav, a post-graduate from Jawaharlal Nehru University, was left bedridden for days after the accident and the treatment cost her Rs 70,000, her family said.
An Ola spokesperson stated the accident as “unfortunate”.
Mrinali had booked an Ola bike-taxi near Botanical Garden to go to Vasundhara in Ghaziabad on September 15, 2018. She had an interview over there.
The driver, Manish Tiwari, arrived at the spot on his two-wheeler around 12.20pm. Hardly had they moved 50 metres when Manish suddenly accelerated the bike and hit a rickshaw near the Great India Place mall.
Mrinali fell off the bike and Manish fled away. Passersby took the woman to Vinayak Hospital.
The woman’s family members lodged a complaint at Sector 49 police station.
“That should be part of their training. We do not have any ill will against the driver or the bike-taxi aggregator. But they must ensure safety of their passengers,” Mrinali’s brother Dilip said.
