What's the story

The Delhi Police is looking for an Uber auto driver who allegedly harassed a female journalist during a ride to Malviya Nagar, reported ANI.

The incident came to light after Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) chairperson Swati Maliwal issued a notice to Uber India and Delhi Police.

Notably, the journalist accused the auto driver of staring at her chest and making her uncomfortable.

Statement

'Was continuously staring at me': Journalist

The journalist told ANI the driver was continuously staring at her breasts in the mirror, which made her move to a different position. However, the staring did not stop.

The journalist then opened the Uber app but could not file a complaint due to technical issues. She later tweeted about the incident, after which DCW swung into action.
