Aparna Balachander, a resident of Bengaluru, was harassed and threatened by an Uber driver who told her “Will Tear Your Clothes if You Don’t Leave Now”, and this is not the first time Uber drivers in India have done such thing.

In a twitter post, Aparna said, “Today, I had the most traumatizing experience of my life. I got into an Uber cab after dinner with my colleagues. The cab driver was telling his friend on phone about customers being ‘very bad’.”

Hi guys, I need you all to take a minute and read my traumatic experience with the cab driver while taking a @Uber cab tonight! Help me spread more caution and awareness among women so that they don't go through what I did! @UberINSupport pic.twitter.com/DNm5o1sa7S

She added, “Suddenly, he turned to me and told me that as an educated woman I should leave work before 7 PM and not go out drinking with colleagues. I told him I didn’t drink and asked him to mind his own business. He went on to call me “s***.”

After some time, Aparna said that the driver started to slow the car down.

Aparna said she was forced to hit the “safety button” on the Uber app on her smartphone.

But what happened next is really confusing. Instead of calling the passenger, Uber decided to call the driver, who said that Aparna, the passenger, was “drunk”.

Aparna said, “Instead of calling me, they called the cab driver and, he started telling the customer care person that ‘I am extremely drunk’. At this point, I had no choice but to start screaming asking the customer care to listen to me.”

She added, “The woman on the call spoke to me and I cried begging her to help me. She told me to get out of the cab and that she will book me another one immediately.”

When Aparna was trying to get out of the car, the driver said: “I Will Tear Your Clothes if You Don’t Leave Now.”

Aparna said she got out of the car by 11:15 pm in the not on a road that was not used frequently.

Aparna added that she was scared of the fact that the Uber driver may come back and do something horrible to her.

Uber tweeted Aparna and said “Hey Aparna, this is concerning. Please share your contact details via Direct Message and let us know a feasible time so our safety team can connect with you.”
