Uber India — woman harassment by uber driver

Address:

Chennai, Tamil Nadu

Submitting on behalf of my wife. Last evening (26/05/2019) she was driving her own car through Guindy, Chennai. When she was behind a Uber cab, both the car were driving at the speed of 30-40KM/hour, the Uber cab suddenly hit the brake and stopped the car (reason is unknown) though the cab car stopped just by fraction of seconds without any indication she managed to control and stop but the momentum of car touched the cab car's back bumper (no damaged for both the cars, refer attached pictures). She wanted to get down and discuss though it was not her fault but there were no parking place and traffic she couldnt get down in the spot to discus so she put the left indicator and drove forward slowly to find a place to park and discuss but the cab driver overtook her and stopped at almost middle of the road and got down and started harassing her with all vulgar and offensive words. As she got frightened because of abusive cab driver's behavior she didnt get down from the car instead she was trying to call police for help. Meanwhile this cab driver started banging her cab bonnet and broke her car's right rear view mirror. Later he left the spot as public started gathering. I'm really worried why Uber has such drivers who dont even know how to talk to ladies in public places. I request Uber to take required action on the driver so such things dont happen again for another lady victim. Please keep me posted on the progress and it will be a great help if you could get the compensation money from him for the mirror damage. Thanks in advance.
