Mumbai’s Asmi Shah, 30, was asked to get off an auto-rickshaw because the driver thought she was too fat to sit in his rickshaw.
Asmi made sure to click a picture of his vehicle’s registration number. Obviously, she was so pissed off that she tweeted about the incident to the Mumbai Police and Mumbai Traffic Police.
Asmi hired the autorickshaw to reach her office in Juhu from Santacruz. According to her, she told the driver to stop at a particular point as she had to pick her mother on the way. On hearing this, the driver asked her if her mother was “as fat as” her.
Asmi told the Mirror, “He started the auto and after we had travelled a few metres, he asked me to sit in the middle of the seat instead of the corner. I obliged. Since I had to pick up my mother on the way, I asked him to stop at a point. He then asked me if the person who I was picking up was as fat as me. I was shocked and told him not to be so rude and mind his language. He then told me that “main mote logon ko apne auto mein nahi bithata (I don’t let fat people sit in my auto) I was stunned by his behaviour.”
When she objected, the driver asked her to get down.
Although, the Mumbai Traffic Police has told Asmi that they can charge him only with the offence of not ferrying a passenger. The case has been registered.
