The Story in Brief
A Bengaluru interior designer plans to approach the consumer court after alleging that Rapido failed to support her following a bike taxi accident on June 17. Sani Krishna, 32, said she suffered critical injuries when the motorcycle allegedly lost balance while overtaking a tractor near Bagmane Tech Park. She was treated in Bengaluru and later shifted to Kerala for rehabilitation. Krishna said her medical bills have crossed Rs 20 lakh, while the platform’s insurance cover was limited to Rs 1 lakh. Rapido told Siasat.com it was in touch with her, but Krishna disputes this and says she received no meaningful assistance beyond automated emails directing her to insurance claims.
The Indian Opinion
Online reactions are turning one disputed account into a verdict on every bike taxi service, while some platform supporters reduce a serious injury case to an insurance form. Both shortcuts miss the central test: whether passenger protection worked after a crash. Krishna’s bills, treatment and alleged insurance gap need independent records, while Rapido’s claim of contact needs dated communication and a clear assistance trail. The consumer court should establish what cover was promised, who was responsible and whether Rs 1 lakh was adequate.
