The incident began at Huda City Centre Gurgaon, where Jyoti hired a cab driven by Irshad at 10 p.m. one evening. Little did Irshad know that this seemingly routine cab ride would turn into a harrowing ordeal lasting for over 12 hours. As dawn broke, Jyoti brazenly refused to pay the agreed fare of Rs 2,000, leaving the helpless driver in a state of utter dismay.

CAB DRIVER

Investigations into Jyoti’s past revealed a disturbing pattern of behavior. It appeared that she had repeatedly engaged in similar acts of exploitation, preying on unsuspecting cab drivers. After accepting their services, she would concoct flimsy excuses to avoid payment. When drivers insisted on receiving their rightful dues, she would resort to alarming threats of filing harassment or molestation cases against them. Such abuse of the law to manipulate and coerce individuals revealed the dark underbelly of gender-based laws designed to protect women.

For drivers like Irshad, the consequences of such exploitation were severe. Apart from the financial loss, the mental and emotional trauma caused by these incidents left a lasting impact. Many drivers, fearing legal repercussions, might hesitate to confront such situations in the future, leading to a further exacerbation of their vulnerability.

If anyone wants to speak to this driver or help him please DM. I will share the number. I am going to help him myself as well through small amount so that he knows everyone isn't like her.

The case of Jyoti brought into focus the urgent need to address the misuse of gender-based laws. While these laws play a crucial role in safeguarding genuine victims of harassment and abuse, their misapplication can have devastating consequences for innocent individuals. Policymakers and law enforcement agencies must work together to strike a balance between protecting women’s rights and preventing the misuse of these laws.
