A passenger accused an Ola cab driver of slapping him twice in front of his 6-year-old son over a payment dispute. The passenger named Kiran Verma shared that the incident took place in Delhi last month when he and his son were on their way to the airport. 

Kiran shared his ordeal in a LinkedIn post on March 1, where he said that the driver demanded extra money or cash payment and started shouting at him. Kiran stated that his son got scared and asked him to leave the car. He said that he called the Ola helpline and the police, but the driver came out and slapped him. 

Kiran said that the Ola support executive advised him not to pay or talk to the driver, which angered the driver more and he slapped Kiran again. "The guy over phone suggested me not to pay or talk to the driver and that’s what I did. This triggered the driver as he was listening the call over loudspeaker and again slapped me," he shared on Linkedin.

"I was thinking to even expect a call from Ola but till date not even a single call from their side. SHOCKINGLY the complaint was closed by Ola company in less than an hour and till date no action has been taken," the man added.
