Namma Yatri Auto Issue!
My wife booked a auto from Horamavu to Thanisandra, Bangalore, but the driver was drunk and took her towards the wrong location near Hebbal. Despite repeatedly asking him to stop, he didn’t listen, forcing her to jump out of the moving auto. pic.twitter.com/qAulNu3yc9

The Namma Yatri auto driver took a wrong turn and ignored the woman passenger’s request to stop. Frightened by his unresponsiveness, and thinking of her safety, the woman passenger leaped from the moving auto in Veerannapalya near Hebbal.
