Bengaluru Auto Driver Viral Video: A shocking video from Karnataka is making rounds on social media, showing an aggressive ‘Rapido’ auto driver yelling at a woman passenger for arriving a few minutes late at the pick-up point. In the viral video, the driver can be heard angrily shouting at the passenger, blaming her for being 'three minutes late.' The woman calmly tries to explain that he could have simply left if he didn’t want to wait but the driver continues to argue and threaten her instead.

According to her post, the driver not only “harassed” her but also “threatened” her, forcing her to pay him Rs 20 before he finally left the spot. The incident reportedly took place right outside the woman’s home, which left her worried for her safety as the driver now knew her address.

Sharing her ordeal on X (formerly Twitter), the user ‘miless_15’ wrote, “@rapidobikeapp who runs your mafia business? Because this driver just harassed me for waiting for 3 mins and he has the audacity to say ‘dekhta hoon kaise jaate ho’. I booked an auto. I ask him to wait for 2 mins because I was finding the keys. I come down. This certain gentleman starts threatening and shouting at me. I paid him 20 rupees because he was threatening to harm me. This is right infront of my house. Rapido calls people late night after a ride is over. It has always been so funny to me cause the customers are at risk before starting the ride. To hell with this city and its people who can just walk away threatening you like this and the only vestige of hope you have is by tweeting about it?”

"To be honest. I have never experienced a single issue with Rapid so far. If I need to go somewhere, I come to the boarding point and book the auto, instead of booking from home and making anyone wait. Always thought it was the least thing I could to save everyone’s time," a user wrote. "Why is it always have to be Bangalore? You'll never see this in Mumbai, at least I haven't," a second user wrote.
