The woman had to leap from a moving auto to flee an unsafe situation. The auto-rickshaw booked through the Namma Yatri app was supposed to take her from Horamavu to Thanisandra. However, the driver, who was intoxicated, reportedly veered off course and drove the rick toward Hebbal. Despite the woman’s repeated pleas, the driver refused to stop the vehicle, leaving her with no choice but to jump off.
The woman’s husband shares the ordeal on X.
The woman’s husband, Azhar Khan, shared the ordeal on X and tagged the Bengaluru City Police. He wrote, “Namma Yatri Auto Issue! My wife booked an auto from Horamavu to Thanisandra, Bangalore, but the driver was drunk and took her to the wrong location near Hebbal. Despite repeatedly asking him to stop, he didn’t listen, forcing her to jump out of the moving auto.”

The woman noticed the driver’s suspicious behaviour.
As per a report in The Times of India, Azhar Khan recounted how his wife noticed the driver’s suspicious behaviour, including red eyes and erratic conduct. She repeatedly urged him to stop the vehicle. However, her requests were ignored, which forced her to make a drastic decision to protect herself and jump off the rickshaw. As the auto slowed down near a ramp in Nagavara, she seized the opportunity to jump out. She escaped unhurt, but the ordeal didn’t end there. The driver approached her and tried to persuade her to get back in. Staying composed, she refused and opted to pay for the ride online. She then found another auto to get back home safely.
The Bengaluru City Police responded, requesting Khan to provide his contact information and details about the auto.
