Ola to submit report on how cab drivers manipulated app to charge higher fares: Mumbai Police

The Mumbai Police has asked cab aggregator Ola to submit a report on how drivers affiliated to the company were manipulating the app to charge passengers higher fares. Three Ola cab drivers were recently arrested for allegedly tampering a previous version of the app software to charge higher fares.

Crime branch officials have also informed the chief technology officer (CTO) of Ola, who appeared before the police two weeks ago, that it is not just an earlier app that may have a glitch but the current software was also vulnerable to tampering.

Ola declined to comment on the issue saying it was part of an ongoing investigation.
