Following the incident, the cab aggregator did not contact the woman. Deepak Rao, a 27-year-old Tindlu resident, was confirmed as the driver. According to a senior police official, the accused was detained and charged with sexual harassment, kidnapping, assault, or criminal force against a woman with the goal to outrage her modesty and causing harm by acts risking the life or personal safety of others.
 
Importance of safety measures for women

This tragedy emphasizes the significance of women's safety measures in India. In the country, sexual harassment and assault against women are common, and women are frequently forced to fend for themselves. It is critical that transport firms take the appropriate precautions to safeguard the safety of their passengers, particularly women. Furthermore, women must be aware of their surroundings and take the appropriate precautions to defend themselves.
