"The driver stopped the cab, stepped out, and threatened my brother, demanding Rs 3000," Ms Priyadarshni wrote.
A Bengaluru-based woman has claimed that the city police did not help her teen brother after a cab driver allegedly threatened and extorted Rs 3,000 from him in the middle of the night.
Mrinali Priyadarshni shared the ordeal on Linkedin, saying, "I'm literally shaking with rage, fear, and anger as I type this."
"Bengaluru City Police abandoned an 18-year-old kid in the middle of the night with a man who had just threatened him," she wrote.
According to Ms Priyadarshni, her 18-year-old brother landed at Bangalore International Airport around midnight and struggled to find a cab through ride-hailing services like Ola, Uber, and Rapido. With no alternative, he opted for an airport taxi to Yelahanka, agreeing on a fare of approximately Rs 800 as displayed on the Rapido app.
Once inside the cab, the driver reportedly began probing him about whether he was a local. Instead of taking the shorter 19 km route, the driver deliberately chose a longer 24 km route, she claimed.
"Suddenly, in the middle of nowhere, he stopped the cab, stepped out, and started threatening my brother," Ms Priyadarshni wrote. "He demanded almost Rs 3,000 and said that if my brother didn't pay, he would beat him up and take him to his friends, who would do God knows what to him."
Her brother, a college student, was left terrified and pleaded with the driver, asking why he had to pay the extra amount. "Because I want it. Aur agar tu paise nahi dega to mai tere ko apne friend ke ghar leke jaunga aur tu fir dekh wahan tere saath kya hota hai (If you don't give me the money, I'll take you to my friend's house, and then you'll see what happens to you)," the driver allegedly told him.
