A shocking case from Tamil Nadu’s Tiruppur has raised serious questions about the safety of women using app-based bike taxi services like Rapido. A local resident alleged on social media that a Rapido driver harassed his female family member by sending obscene messages and even a sex video on WhatsApp after completing a ride on 16 October. According to the post, the driver misused the woman’s contact details obtained through the platform and made repeated WhatsApp calls and sent pornographic photos and videos around 11 PM. The family claimed this is not an isolated incident, warning that multiple women in Tiruppur have faced similar harassment. Calling the service a “threat to women,” the user urged the police and civic authorities to take strict action and even consider banning Rapido. Rapido responded, apologising and assuring immediate action along with legal support for the victim. ‘Touched Me Inappropriately’: Rapido Bike-Taxi Rider Allegedly Molests Woman in Bengaluru, Accused Denies Allegations.
