A recent Uber ride from Gurgaon to Delhi has amplified concerns regarding passenger safety. A political activist reported that her driver was on the phone throughout the journey and allegedly took a wrong route.
When the passenger pointed out the navigational error, the driver reportedly responded rudely, telling her to "chup chap baitho." She also expressed discomfort due to a mismatch between the driver's displayed details on the app and the actual person operating the vehicle.
