Rapido driver assaults woman amid court ban

Bengaluru, June 16 (UNI) A disturbing video showing a Rapido bike taxi driver assaulting a woman passenger in Bengaluru’s Jayanagar has gone viral, stoking public outrage and drawing renewed attention to the regulatory and legal vacuum surrounding bike taxi operations in Karnataka.
The incident occurred when the woman, an employee at a jewellery store, reportedly confronted the driver, S Suman, for rash driving and asked to alight mid-ride. A heated exchange followed, complicated by a language barrier — the woman spoke only English while the driver only Kannada.
According to the footage, the situation escalated after the woman allegedly refused to pay the fare and return the helmet. She is said to have struck the driver with a tiffin box, prompting Suman to retaliate by slapping her, causing her to fall to the ground. Despite bystanders gathering, no one intervened.
