  • Bengaluru entrepreneur Shaheer Ahmed posted that his Rapido driver spent about an hour on speakerphone, taking calls about a distressed friend, an alleged Uber scam and city traffic.
  • The Bengaluru post drew roughly 1 million views, according to The Indian Express, while News18 reported the Delhi video surpassed about 600,000 views.
