A 17-year-old boy has reported an incident of sexual harassment involving a Rapido bike taxi driver in Uttar Pradesh. The teenager posted a video on Instagram detailing the encounter, which occurred during a ride. He stated that while seated on the back of the moving bike, the driver reached towards him. Despite the teenager’s efforts to push the driver’s hand away, he claims the driver continued to attempt to touch his leg and thigh.
One user wrote, “Only this incident was recorded that the offender finally lost his job. The video shows the teenager removing the driver’s hand as the alleged incident unfolds. He captioned the post with a reference to his age and tagged Rapido’s official Instagram account, drawing widespread attention online. The incident has since raised discussions about passenger safety, driver accountability and how ride-hailing platforms react to allegations of inappropriate behaviour. Imagine how many guys he molested before!! And they didn’t speak up. Thanks for speaking up. You are brave. Another commented, “Hope you’re okay. This is so messed up. I’m sorry it happened to you. Details about whether a police complaint has been filed or any further legal action has been taken remain unclear.
Because you must take legal action, glad you recorded it.
