App cab driver robs passenger in Calcutta

A woman who had hired an app cab last Saturday saw the driver speed away with her bag containing cash, which she had withdrawn from an ATM during the trip, while she was taking out other belongings from the boot.

The app cab driver, identified as Ramashish Kumar, 24, was arrested on Tuesday evening based on the woman’s complaint.

Police said Jyoti Sharma, 32, had hired the app cab from Chandni Chowk to travel home to the Regent Park area. On the way she withdrew money from an ATM kiosk near the Rashbehari gurudwara.
