The driver, associated with cab aggregator BluSmart, has been arrested. The aggregator has said it was "disturbed" by the incident, apologised to the passenger and her family and assured that it would strengthen safety protocols further.
The incident occurred Friday when the woman and her son took a BluSmart cab from Airia Mall in Gurgaon to her home in Sector 86. Near Sector 83, the driver stopped the cab and pointed a gun at her. He then forced her to transfer Rs 55,000 to his account through a UPI app. He kept her bag too, asked them to get out of the car and drove away.
