In a separate incident, a woman in Bengaluru allegedly jumped off from a moving auto when she realised that the driver was taking her to the wrong location near Hebbal. Initially, the woman asked the driver to stop the vehicle but he did not listen to her. The auto-driver who was in an inebriated situation, continued to take her towards the wrong direction. Following this, the woman leapt from the moving vehicle. The Bengaluru Police has arrested the driver and registered a FIR in the case.
A Bengaluru resident and an activist named Azhar Khan shared the information on social media platform X, formerly Twitter. He said, "Namma Yatri Auto Issue! My wife booked an auto from Horamavu to Thanisandra, Bangalore, but the driver was drunk and took her towards the wrong location near Hebbal. Despite repeatedly asking him to stop, he didn’t listen, forcing her to jump out of the moving auto".
