Young Female Pilot Molested in Private Cab in Mumbai !

Mumbai – A 25-year-old female pilot working with a reputed airline has alleged that two unidentified men attempted to intimidate and molest her during a private cab ride in Ghatkopar. Based on her complaint, Ghatkopar Police have registered a case against three individuals, including the cab driver. The driver has been taken into custody and is currently being interrogated.

The incident took place around 10:45 PM while the cab was en route to Ghatkopar. Midway, the driver changed the route and picked up two unknown men. One of them sat in the front seat, while the other took the seat next to the woman. Both appeared to be in the age group of 25 to 30. Suddenly, the man beside her grabbed and twisted her right hand. When she protested loudly, the other man threatened her and touched her inappropriately, while the driver continued to drive silently without intervening.

As the cab approached a police checkpoint, the driver slowed down the vehicle, allowing both men to flee. Upon reaching her destination, the woman questioned the driver about the two men, but he had no answers. He simply collected the fare and left the scene.
