Kolkata Cab Driver Who Escorted Intoxicated Woman Home on Christmas Eve Goes Viral

The driver's profile spotlights a TET-qualified teacher candidate working as a cabbie because stalled recruitments left him without an appointment.

Overview

  • The driver, identified as 31-year-old Munna Ajij Mollick/Mallick, safely dropped a heavily intoxicated young woman home late on Christmas Eve after her male companion exited near a Metro station.
  • He recorded parts of the ride for his protection, contacted the passenger’s mother using his phone, and waited until she was inside her residence before leaving.
  • Mollick says he did nothing extraordinary and describes the act as basic duty, a view echoed by his mother in interviews.
  • He holds a diploma in IT and cleared the Teacher Eligibility Test, yet he drives a cab due to stalled hiring tied to recruitment disputes and ongoing court cases.
  • The video drew widespread praise and renewed conversation about women’s safety in Kolkata, and Mollick later removed the clip from his channel at the passenger’s request.
