It's not always easy to do the right thing - this woman did and now she's being hailed on social media as a heroine. Her post, shared on November 24, has received over 39,000 reactions and over 6,200 shares on Facebook.
In her post, Mumbai-based Himani Jain describes her unusual cab ride which resulted in her having to go to a police station. No, she wasn't the one filing a complaint. She was just there to support her cab driver who was being falsely accused by her co-passenger. Here's what happened.
Ms Jain booked a shared cab from her office on November 23. "The driver, Shahid (name changed), was very polite and well behaved. I was sharing cab with a lady, Gayatri (name changed), who was probably in her late thirties. She got into the cab and within a minute she started arguing with Shahid about the drop," Ms Jain says on Facebook.
"By this time she lost her cool completely and asked Shahid to come to police station and asked me to join her in her complaint. When I disagreed she started verbally abusing me as well. Shahid ended my trip, apologized for the inconvenience and asked me to take another ride home," she says.
Ms Jain, already late and apprehensive about having to go the police station (never having gone to one ever before), was hesitant. She, however, couldn't let the driver suffer the consequences for something he didn't do and decided to go along with them to a police station in Powai.
"I was not expecting this. But since it has gone viral, I hope it inspires others too," Ms Jain told NDTV. Asked if the cab company contacted her after the incident, she said: "They asked about the driver and said they would look into the matter and check the customer's background before taking any action."
