A video showing an Ola cab driver watching omelette-making videos and Big Boss clips while driving on a busy Mumbai road has gone viral, raising concerns about road safety. The passenger who filmed the video posted it on X, accusing the driver of endangering lives.
Rohan Khule, the passenger, shared the video with the caption: “Dear Ola, Your driver is learning how to cook an omelette while driving at the cost of risking our lives. Your scooters are already on fire, hope you take corrective measures before this one also turns up in flames and soon turn into ashes.”
Dear Ola,
Your driver is learning how to cook an omlette while driving at the cost of risking our lives. Your scooters are already on fire, hope you take corrective measures before this one also turns up in flames and soon turn into ashes.@Olacabs @bhash @MumbaiPolice @MMVD_RTO pic.twitter.com/RBi0jEWbgX— DARK KNIGHT (@ROHANKHULE) December 24, 2024
The video, recorded by Khule from the backseat, shows the driver’s phone placed next to the steering wheel, playing an omelette-making reel. The driver then swipes up to watch clips from the TV show Big Boss, all while continuing to drive.
Khule not only criticized the driver’s actions but also called out Ola, referencing the frequent incidents of their scooters catching fire, which have resulted in numerous customer complaints.
Mumbai Police took note of the viral video and responded to Khule’s post on X, asking for more details: “Please share the exact location so we can inform @MTPHereToHelp. We request that if the address you provided is not sufficient send us the full address.”
Following the video’s virality, Ola Support responded to Khule, expressing concern: “We find this matter deeply concerning, Rohan. Kindly share the CRN of this ride via DM for us to investigate and assist you at the earliest.”
