Rapido Rider Sends ‘I Love You’ to Noida Woman, Dares Her to File Complaint After She Objects

A Noida resident was subjected to harassment after booking a parcel delivery through Rapido, when the assigned rider sent her unsolicited romantic messages and openly dismissed her threats to report him to the company or police. The incident, shared on social media, has sparked renewed scrutiny over gig-worker verification processes and user safety protocols across ride-hailing and delivery platforms.

Unsolicited Messages and Open Defiance

According to a LinkedIn post shared by the victim, Geetika Srivastava, the delivery executive initiated contact via message shortly after completing the parcel service. The messages began with an informal greeting, "Hello, Kesi ho aap?" (Hello, how are you?), before the rider sent a direct "I Love You."

Safety Concerns and Verification Gaps

Expressing concern over the driver's blatant disregard for potential consequences, Srivastava raised questions regarding the company’s hiring practices and onboarding standards. In her post, she highlighted the broader issue of safety for female users relying on logistics apps, questioning whether platform partners face meaningful accountability for misconduct.
