After Indian drivers being accused of stalking, sexually harassing and refusing rides, Uber drivers in Bangalore brutally beat up a Bangalore-based man at the airport.

The incident happened at Bengaluru’s Kempegowda International Airport. 48-year-old Dave Banerjee, the victim, was beaten up by over 20 Uber drivers on Monday night. Reason? He asked for seat belts.

When he called Uber’s emergency service, he got a reply that,

 

“WE CAN’T HELP, CALL THE POLICE.”

He lodged a complaint with Uber.

Have they replied to you anywhere? You can probably use the details of the driver assigned to you to get their attention. WTF @Uber_BLR?

 
 

 

And got a reply,

Got beaten up by a mob of 20+ #Uber drivers at #Bangalore Airport last night for demanding seatbelts. Uber SOS said 'we can't help, call the police'. @dkhos @amijain1 @ShaileshSawlani @FreeseChristian@Uber_BLR @UberINSupport @timesofindia @ndtv @BlrCityPolice@CPBlr @firstpost pic.twitter.com/QghDMlgYzX

 

This sounds concerning, Dave. Our team will reach out to you.

 
 

 

He hit back at them saying,

This sounds concerning, Dave. Our team will reach out to you.

 

What did you guys do when I called your SOS? Why don’t you share that recording on Twitter? #Uber is a menace to the society.

 
 

 

 

That’s your response? I reached out to you and you did jack. The worst was after my call to you. https://twitter.com/uberinsupport/status/930344909957222400 …

 
 

 

While speaking to Storypick, Dave cited the incident. He mentioned the hours between 9.40 p.m. to 11.40 p.m. were horrible. After they got into an Uber which didn’t have seat belts in the rear, Mr. Banerjee asked the driver for them. He said,

“You know how it is that the cars in India don’t have seat belts in the rear and the during the cleaning they get pushed in the seat. I asked the driver to stop the car so that I could pull out the rear seat belts. After asking him to stop twice, I simply tapped him on the shoulder and said the same. Then, I got into the trunk to push the end out from between the seats. I don’t know what happened. He got angry, called fellow people while saying something in Kannada probably something on lines that I attacked him. I don’t understand the language. Two of my colleagues and I, started walking towards the Uber bay to book another Uber.

A mob of around 20-25 people were checking each car to see if I was seated in that or not. And, when they spotted us, attacked me and I was beaten by them and so was one of my colleagues. The beating continued for close to 45 minutes.”

 

When asked if the Police, Airport security or anyone intervened or tried to help.

“No one did anything. It all happened as you turn left from the arrival gate. I called Uber SOS, they said call the police. I called 100, no help came. And, people just watched. You know how people in our country simply stand and enjoy the show and click selfies whenever something happens on the road. This is a sick country we live in.

I got a call from Uber and they were apologising for the inconvenience. I told them, this was not an inconvenience, I was beaten up.“

He has requested footage from airport security cams and CCTV footage in the area, and intends to upload it on social media and make everyone aware of the brutality shown by the drivers.
