HYDERABAD: Hyderabad Police have arrested a cab driver, working for cab aggregating service Uber, after a woman passenger complained that he was masturbating in the car."Arrested accused Prem Kumar, is owner and not the driver of the car. He was driving as regular driver was not on duty,” said Madhapur DCP Vishwa Prasad.Earlier, an early morning ride to the airport, on Diwali day, turned into a nightmare for a woman traveller from the city after her cab driver allegedly started masturbating during the trip.The traveller, Uma Sharma, took to social media to narrate the shocking incident that occurred along the Outer Ring Road here around 7.30am on Thursday. Sharma, who is employed with a firm here, was on her way to board a flight to New Delhi.She wrote: "Today my #Uber driver thought it perfectly normal to masturbate while dropping me to the airport. As soon as we were on the relatively empty ORR in #Hyderabad, he slowed the car to about a 50kmph and kept glancing back in the rear-view mirror. After about 5 mins when I realized what he was doing, I shouted and asked him to stop the car - unfazed, and continuing his act, he very nonchalantly asked me what was wrong. After much screaming, he reluctantly stopped the car, and continued standing on the road until I took a picture of him and threatened to go to the cops (sic)."Uber issued a statement, confirming that "the driver partner's access to the Uber app has been barred", and stated how the firm's "community guidelines clearly reject such inappropriate behaviour".The incident triggered outrage - both online and offline - with women from across cities and age groups sharing their stories of dread about travelling via public transport.
