New Delhi: Rapido driver refuses Muslim passenger, “Musalmaan allowed nahi hai meri gaadi mein”
New Delhi: A Rapido driver allegedly refused to pick up a Muslim passenger on Eid, saying, "Musalmaan allowed nahi hai meri gaadi mein" (Muslims are not allowed in my vehicle), triggering outrage on social media, madhyamam reported.
The incident involved a Kerala-origin journalist, Zain, who is based in Delhi. He had booked a ride with driver Subhash Rawat, who allegedly declined the trip after realising the passenger’s identity.
"Why are you saying I am not allowed? Because I am a Muslim?" Zain asked during the call.
"Yes, Muslims are not allowed in my vehicle. This is not your father’s vehicle," Rawat shot back, telling him to stop calling. Rawat holds a 4.5 app rating.
Zain shared the call recording online, which quickly went viral, drawing widespread criticism and demands for action against the driver and the company.
The company apologized publicly, terming the conduct "completely unacceptable." In a statement, the company said, "Your safety is our top priority, and we are committed to ensuring a respectful and secure experience for all our passengers."
Further action against the driver is awaited.
