A video posted by famous YouTuber Anisha Dixit has sparked outrage online, raising concerns about a possible scam targeting passengers using ride-hailing app Ola.
In the video, Anisha tells how an Ola driver she had booked from Bandra started crying uncontrollably as soon as she entered the car. The driver claimed that he had recently lost his father and had been robbed, repeatedly expressing suicidal thoughts during the journey. Despite her attempts to console him, his erratic behavior causes Anisha distress and suspicion.
When Anisha requests a short stop for an urgent call, the driver speeds off, leading her to believe that it may be a scam to extort money. He shared the video on Instagram to raise awareness, and suspected this was a new tactic used by unscrupulous drivers.
