A Delhi woman alleged that a Rapido rider took her towards a deserted area while she was travelling to Vishwavidyalaya and refused to stop despite repeated requests. She said she jumped from the moving scooter, injuring her head and hand, and asked Rapido to share the rider’s details so she could complain to authorities. The Times of India reported that she had not received a response from the company. Separately, a 17-year-old from Prayagraj alleged that a Rapido rider sexually harassed him during a ride in Civil Lines. Hindustan Times reported that Rapido said it had permanently barred the driver. The teenager said he had not reported the rider to police or told his family, and later thanked Rapido for taking action. Rapido did not provide public proof of a police case, according to his account.
