The OlA cab owner and the driver were arrested by the Government Railway Police (GRP) here and forwarded to court on Wednesday on the charge of misbehaving with passengers, including women.
GRP IIC Saubhagya Kumar Swain said that on March 6, one Sanjay Kumar Padhy of Nayapalli area had booked an Indica car No OR-02 BA-7177 from the OlA from through OlA Apps in his mobile for a trip for his friends and family for a movement from Sastry Nagar to the Bhubaneswar railway station.
But car driver Suresh Kumar Mohapatra drove the car on a non-regular and distant route resulting in delay in reaching the railway station for which they were about to miss their Dhanbad-Garibrath Express.
“When passengers Sujit Sankar Behera and Balamukunda Pradhan, working as Bank of India Managers, Rourkela and their family members reached the stations, their friend Sanjay Kumar Padhy who was waiting at the station asked the driver for the reason of being late,” Swain said.
All of a sudden, the driver started misbehaving with them and even pushed down Padhy.
Getting information, car owner Adhikari Sudhanu Sekhar Das too rushed to the spot and abused the complainants.
