Cab driver forces girl to get off car in secluded place

A female student had a harrowing time when a cab driver forced her to get off the vehicle near Shahimajra in a secluded place when she objected to playing loud music in the car.

The 20-year-old victim is pursuing internship at Mohali. She had booked a ride to her home in Chandigarh from Mohali Industrial Area, Phase 8, on Monday evening around 6 pm.

Her father lodged a complaint with the Phase I police station. The cab driver, however, continues to elude the police.

The police said the suspect was a middle-aged man and the vehicle number registered with the cab aggregator was traced to Barnala district. They are trying to identity the driver and the vehicle used in the incident.

Meanwhile, ASI Devinder Sandhu said, “A complaint has been received in this regard. The police have written to the cab aggregator, Uber, to provide the details of the car and the driver. Once we receive a reply from the company, further action will be taken.”
