The woman, identified as Shivanii, claimed that the incident occurred during an Uber ride from Mahalaxmi to Nerul. According to her, the fare displayed on the Uber app was Rs 501, but the driver allegedly demanded an additional Rs 40 in cash for toll charges.
Questioning why the payment was being sought outside the platform, Shivanii said she refused to pay the extra amount. In the caption of one of her videos, she wrote, “The fare on the app was Rs 501. The driver demanded an extra Rs 40 – off the app. When I refused, he stepped closer to intimidate me. I pushed back.”
