Uma’s post comes at a time when women across the world are using the the ‘#MeToo’ hashtag to speak up about sexual abuse and harassment they face.

In the post, Uma also mentioned the hashtag saying, "Today, I shudder to think how many of these #metoo statuses were because of the same vile men who repeated their actions – only because we were too scared to speak up."

Criticising Uber's driver verification process, Uma further said that she will file a complaint with the police.

"So today, I choose to speak up and I won't stop until #UberIndia takes responsibility for their non-existent driver verification and complete disregard for their passengers safety. I’m also taking this up with the cops to initiate action against this worthless excuse of a man," she wrote.

In a statement to India Today, Uber India said that it had barred the driver's access to the Uber app following the complaint.
