The incident has sparked online anger, with many criticising driver's behaviour and calling for stricter measures from Ola to prevent similar occurrences.
A video posted by famous YouTuber Anisha Dixit has sparked outrage online, raising concerns about a potential scam targeting passengers using the ride-hailing app Ola.
In the video, Anisha describes how an Ola driver she booked from Bandra began crying uncontrollably as soon as she entered the car. The driver claimed to have recently lost his father and been robbed, repeatedly expressing suicidal thoughts throughout the ride. Despite attempts to console him, his erratic behavior caused Anisha discomfort and suspicion.
When Anisha requested a brief stop for an urgent call, the driver sped away, prompting her to believe it might be a scam to extort money. She shared the video on Instagram to raise awareness, suspecting it to be a new method used by unscrupulous drivers.
