In her complaint, the woman told the police that after a normal journey of about 25 minutes, the driver suddenly took another route and made two other men in the cab. The woman said that one of them, who was sitting on the back seat right next to her, touched her improperly. When the woman shouted at her, the person started threatening her, but the shocking thing was that the cab driver did not care to intervene.
The complainant told the police that after some distance ahead, the accused persons noticed that the police was investigating on the highway. On seeing this, both the male passengers immediately got down from the cab and escaped from the spot. Eventually, the driver left the woman at her house. When the woman asked the driver why she made two strangers into the cab, she did not give any clarification.
