Kolkata: Karaya Police has launched a probe after a female fashion designing student alleged that she was verbally abused and intimidated by an app-based biker in south Kolkata on Thursday evening.
The biker managed to escape. The student, a resident of Salt Lake, was travelling from Golpark toward her institute when the incident occurred.
The student alleged instead of adhering to the designated main route displayed on the map, the rider diverted onto an unauthorized route.
The biker allegedly hurled foul and offensive language at her, made inappropriate gestures, and threatened her. The student demanded the biker to stop the ride near Karaya Police Station. The biker continued to abuse her even after she got off.
Despite the terrifying experience, the student handed over the full fare for the trip.
