Bengaluru News: Sharing a chilling video of a late-night Uber ride on Instagram, a Bengaluru-based influencer expressed her ordeal, where she experienced a nightmare during her travel. Influencer Amiee’s Uber ride went horribly wrong when the driver refused to drop her near her destination and turned aggressive.

Upon being urged to drop off in the right location, the driver instead took a sudden U-turn to return to the starting point. Feeling trapped, she tried to note the vehicle's registration number, but the driver allegedly attempted to hit her. The situation worsened when she realised the number plate on the car didn't match the one displayed on the Uber app.

The video went viral quickly, with several passengers sharing similar experiences and demanding better passenger safety.

Making an Instagram post, Amiee wrote, “I’m reaching out to express my serious concern. This is not the first or even the second time I’ve had a negative experience with an Uber driver. We choose Uber expecting safety and reliability, but unfortunately, incidents like this continue to happen. It’s not just me—I’m sure many other customers are facing similar issues as well. It’s deeply disappointing and concerning. I strongly urge you to take strict action against this kind of behaviour. Please address this matter seriously, as passenger safety should always be your top priority.”
