Police in Pune are looking for an autorickshaw driver who did something very bad to a female passenger on April 9, 2025, around 3:00 PM. This incident happened in Lohgaon and is now being investigated at the Airport Police Station. It shows that there are serious problems with safety for women using public transport in the city.
The woman who was in the autorickshaw saw the driver acting inappropriately when he slowed down near a building. She was very smart and quickly raised an alarm. She managed to get out of the vehicle safely, but the driver ran away, leaving his autorickshaw behind.
The police are investigating the case and are using the woman’s description of the driver and the autorickshaw’s license plate to find him. They’ve registered the case under laws related to molestation. Special teams are also checking for any CCTV cameras in the area to gather more evidence.
This incident has made people talk about how safe it’s for women who travel alone in Pune. Local officials are looking at how they check autorickshaw drivers and are thinking about adding new safety features like GPS trackers and emergency buttons in all autorickshaws.
Community groups and people who support women’s rights are asking for stronger rules for autorickshaw drivers. They want better background checks, safety training, and a system to track all public transport vehicles.
The Pune Regional Transport Office is planning meetings to discuss these safety issues and to find solutions. The safety of passengers, especially women, is very important to the police and local government.
The search for the driver continues, and they want to make transport safer for everyone.
