An Uber driver in Mumbai has been suspended by the Taxi major after he allegedly misbehaved with a foreign woman who hired his cab. The friend of the girl took to Facebook to convey the ordeal she had to go through. She wrote "Last night an expat girl friend who is currently working in Bombay took an Uber from my house in Pali Hill to 7 Bungalows. She asked us if Uber was safe and all of us jumped to assure her that she was in BOMBAY and she had nothing to worry about. Unfortunately we were proved wrong because this Uber driver tried to molest her on their way to Versova". he complained about low visibility through his back screen and told her he was going to pull over to clean it.

She was very uncomfortable but allowed him to stop to clean the screen. She was surprised when he came to the back seat under the pretext of cleaning the window from the inside and proceeded to put his hand on her thigh and tried to feel her up. She panicked and tried to push him off and only when she started shouting at him did he move off her and go back to his seat. She managed to jump off and get home safely." A statement from the taxi hiring app read, "Uber has a zero tolerance policy towards any sort of harassment or misconduct. We have suspended the driver from our platform and have shared all details related to the trip and the driver with the relevant authorities for official investigation".
