A video of an Ola cab driver watching omelette-making tutorials and Bigg Boss reels while driving on a busy road in Mumbai has gone viral on social media. The footage has sparked safety concerns, as incidents involving distracted drivers have been increasingly highlighted online. The passenger who recorded the video posted it on X, accusing the driver of endangering his life with reckless behavior.
“Dear Ola, Your driver is learning to cook an omelette while driving at the cost of risking our lives. Your scooters are already on fire, hope you take corrective measures before this one also turns up in flames and soon turn into ashes,” Rohan Khule, shared the video with the following caption.
The video, captured by Khule from the backseat, shows the driver’s phone placed next to the steering wheel, playing an omelette-making reel. The driver then swipes up to play the next video, featuring clips from the TV show Bigg Boss, all while continuing to drive.
Expressing criticism of the driver’s behavior, Khule also took a dig at Ola, pointing out recurring issues with their scooters catching fire, which have triggered numerous customer complaints.
The viral video drew the attention of the Mumbai Police, who responded to Khule’s post on X. “Please share the exact location so we can inform @MTPHereToHelp. We request that if the address you provided is not sufficient send us the full address,” the Mumbai Police wrote.
Following the video’s viral spread, Ola Support addressed Khule’s post, requesting additional details about the cab driver to look into the incident. “We find this matter deeply concerning, Rohan. Kindly share the CRN of this ride via DM for us to investigate and assist you at the earliest,” they stated.
