Shocking Auto-Rickshaw Incident in Delhi: Woman Warns Others After Near Kidnapping


Picture1

{A Delhi commuter’s morning turned into a nightmare when an auto-rickshaw ride went horribly wrong. Her account went viral on Reddit, raising alarms about the risks of using autos and app-based rides.

What Happened


The woman, who uses apps to book autos for work, chose Ola after her usual app had no autos available. A few minutes into the ride, the driver suddenly stopped, claiming his phone wasn’t working to see the way. She discovered later that he ended the ride in-app, disabling any tracking.

Moments later, he took a route that didn’t match her usual way, causing instant concern. Signs indicated they were moving opposite to her office, toward a distant area almost two hours away, far longer than her normal 30-45-minute commute.

She ordered the driver to turn back, but he insisted, “madam, this is what Google Maps is showing,” while speeding on highways where she couldn’t escape.

Her quick message to her partner prompted him to call instantly, demanding the driver take her back. Only after her partner’s angry intervention, and her thinking of jumping out, did the driver bring her back close to home, take no fare, and drive away. She and her partner became convinced this was an attempted kidnapping, as the driver didn’t even want payment.

She felt shaken and frustrated, discovering Ola had no effective safety tools, only directing her to “call the police” with no formal complaint options.

Similar events have surfaced recently, with Delhi police noting multiple cases of dangerous auto driver behavior, including suspected abductions. In one recent Thane case, a teen saved herself by jumping out of a moving auto using a compass to orient herself.

Delhi Woman’s Scary Auto Ride – Online Reactions


The woman’s post drew widespread shock and sympathy on Reddit, with users saying things like, “This is horrifying!” and “Damn, that’s so scary”. Many Nvidia urged her to report to police and publicly call out Ola on platforms like X (formerly Twitter).

Others offered advice and recounted similar incidents:

• Have your keys ready to defend yourself if needed.
• Speak loudly about your route or keep navigation on speaker so the driver feels monitored.
• Use metro transport as a safer alternative when traveling solo.
• Stay away from Ola due to its lack of proper safety tools.

Key Travel Safety Advice from Her Experience


Reconsider Booking Solo Rides: It’s safer to avoid solo bookings since drivers can’t be easily vetted.
Verify Vehicle Details Before Boarding: Double-check the auto number to prevent impersonation.
Ensure the Trip Is Active Before Entering: Enter only after the driver enters your OTP and the trip begins.
Keep App Open: Keep the app open to see if the trip gets stopped.
Share Your Location: Always share your live route with someone you trust.
Sit Safely: Sit on the open side to escape quickly if required.
Know Your Route: Avoid unknown routes where you can’t judge if the driver diverts.
Verify Driver’s Path Live: Use live navigation to confirm correct directions.
Know Where Help Is Available: Note police presence during the ride.
Avoid Ola (Strong Advice): She strongly advised avoiding Ola due to poor safety and weak complaint systems.

This event highlights the pressing demand for better driver verification, constant ride tracking, and effective emergency assistance from ride-hailing services.
