In the Maurice Nagar area of Delhi, a 48-year-old cab driver was arrested by the police. The driver was accused of engaging in indecent behavior in front of a student during the ride. On Monday, the police registered an FIR and the driver, named Lom Shankar, was taken into custody. His cab has also been impounded.
According to the agency, the incident took place on Monday in Maurice Nagar. The student had booked a cab to travel from her college in Delhi. She reported that she got out midway after witnessing the driver's inappropriate actions and later notified the police.
After a written complaint was filed by the college student, the police registered a case and arrested Lom Shankar. They mentioned that the vehicle has been seized and the woman's statement will be officially recorded before a magistrate.
It's worth noting that this isn't an isolated incident. Similar cases have emerged in the past. A while ago, a case was reported in Mumbai's Andheri area involving a foreign woman experiencing inappropriate behavior. There too, the cab driver was seen engaging in indecent acts during the ride. However, the DN Nagar police registered the case and apprehended the accused.
