‘Rude and creepy driver. I demand action. First, he refused to turn on the air conditioner, then says garmi lag rahi hai to aage mere godi me baith jao (If you are feeling hot then come and sit on my lap),” Das tweeted.
“He also ended the trip, moments after starting to drive and forced me out. This is when I was with husband,’ she added.
