4 Uber incidents in 8 days.

Drunk driver threatening my mother. ✅
Driver abandoning me mid-trip & extorting cash. ✅ Price fraud. ✅
Verbal abuse. ✅

Uber's fix: "minimised the possibility of you being paired with this driver." 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

My fix: 17-page legal notice. @Uber_India

Some context. I'm visually impaired. I don't use Uber for convenience, I use it because I have to. It's how I move around Pune independently. I'm also an Uber One subscriber. Paying for a "premium" experience while getting this is a special kind of irony.

3 March, 9 PM. My mother books an auto. Driver GANESH shows up completely drunk. Verbally abusive to a lone woman passenger, at night, in an auto with no physical barrier. I reported it with proof. Uber's response: "the driver's behavior was unprofessional."

I escalated to the National Consumer Helpline. Docket #8836694. Uber marked it "WIP" on 7 March. Less than 26 hours later, without my consent, without resolution, marked "Closed." The driver highly likely still on the platform.

24 February. Driver Mohammed Umair Shaikh abandons me 700-800m before my destination. Demands more via direct UPI payment. Uber's remedy? Credits restricted from use on Auto rides. They kept my money and called it resolved.

1 March, 5:10 PM. Driver Gajanan abuses me over the fare and cancels to avoid his obligation. 5:35 PM same day, driver Dnyanoba demands ₹113 despite the app showing ₹100. I'm already dropped off with no alternatives. So I paid.

Pune's auto situation is genuinely dangerous. Uber's drivers have figured out that passengers alone on the road are someone they can push around. Uber's platform has figured out that template emails and fake credits (which don't even apply on auto rides) are cheaper than accountability.

So I sent a 17-page legal notice. Consumer Protection Act 2019. RPwD Act 2016. Motor Vehicle Aggregator Guidelines 2020. Maharashtra Aggregator Cabs Policy 2025.

Demands: Compensation for mental distress and lack of action. Written apology from senior management. Permanent deactivation of all four drivers. Refund in actual money, not credits.

If no response in 15 days: then I'm moving to District Consumer Commission Pune & CCPA complaint for systemic unfair trade practices.

Uber, the clock is running. ⏳ @jagograhakjago @Uber @Uber_Support @UberIN_Support

@vineet_mausam Any idea about the weekend of 4-5 Oct? We were planning a Konkan trip

@Nicks4026 @HyundaiIndia Was there a resolution? I was looking to buy a pre-owned car from same dealer

[Tanay Joshi @TanayJoshi9]

@campusshoes Issue resolved. Thanks

[Tanay Joshi @TanayJoshi9]

@campusshoes I raised two tickets for pickup of sandals - TicketID:189324 & 192300
Both the tickets are still unresolved & there's NO update. I purchased directly from your website instead of ecom sites for better exp, looks like I'll be regretting it

🚨Is Hafiz Abdur Rauf really a Common man❓

Pakistan’s DG ISPR claims that LeT terrorist Hafiz Abdur Rauf is an 'Innocent Man'

#PIBFactCheck

❌DG ISPR's "COMMON MAN" is a Globally Sanctioned Terrorist - clearly visible in the viral terrorist funeral picture

✅The identity details shared by DG ISPR completely overlap with the details of Hafiz Abdur Rauf, a member of LeT's senior leadership since at least 1999 and part of the US Sanctions List

@campusshoes Hi, I have still not received a call. If you have a customer care number, please let me know.

I’m not sure how the “International Community” thinks the current tension in the subcontinent will be de-escalated when the IMF essentially reimburses Pakistan for all the ordnance it is using to devastate Poonch, Rajouri, Uri, Tangdhar & so many other places.

Important Thread: Tips to Spot Adulterated Food Items!

Food adulteration is on the rise in Hyderabad, with numerous incidents being reported in and around the area.

On February 24, police busted a large-scale adulteration racket where a gang was found manufacturing various adulterated household items, from Parachute Coconut oil to Red Label tea, Surf Excel to Everest Masala in Hyderabad.

Therefore, it's essential to be aware of techniques for recognizing adulterated food.

Here are some tips to detect adulterated food items!

1. Testing Watermelon adulteration with Erythrosine Color

[वरुण 🇮🇳 @varungrover]

This is a stunning piece of accidental confession to explain the news media playbook last few years. It’s a simple three step process (already mastered by WhatsApp uncles over the years):

1. Label yourself as ‘apolitical’/‘observer’.
2. Start framing every issue into a govt vs opposition conflict.
3. Black out the uncomfortable issues under the pretext of being apolitical.

Stories of public concern (mob lynchings, ethnic violence, sexual assault allegations against people in power, or even much widespread old-school issues of rising unemployment etc) have been systemically ignored under the horribly shameful pretext of ‘not our job to discuss politics’. Every inconvenience faced by the common citizen has been dubbed as the ‘opposition’ and hence ‘not our job to side with them’.

And to top all that, constant pushing of communal, divisive, and provocative narratives has been normalised as a job of media. So somehow - talking about a tunnel collapse is political side-taking but branding an entire religion as anti-national every night through shrieking anchors is being a ‘neutral observer’.
