Ride gone wrong: Biker in Mumbai's Bandra (W) takes traffic rules for spin with 49-year-old businesswoman

MUMBAI: A 49-year-old businesswoman said she experienced a frightening ordeal on Thursday when a biker pursued her SUV for nearly 10 minutes in Bandra (West) and allegedly threatened to rape her. The incident unfolded around 12.50pm when the woman, en route to her workplace, pointed out to the biker that he had entered a no-entry lane at Pali Naka in Bandra (West) which angered him, said the police.
Bandra police filed an FIR against the unidentified man on Thursday. "The team is searching for the accused. We are going through the CCTV footage to identify the accused and the motorcycle registration number to locate his whereabouts. He fled when he noticed the woman calling the police," stated a Bandra police officer.
The incident took place between 12.55pm and 1.05pm as the woman left her residence at Pali Naka to drive to her workplace. In her complaint, she recounted, "On noticing the biker riding in a no-entry lane, I pointed out to him that he was violating traffic rules. This angered him and he hurled abuses at me, saying he was headed to a building nearby."
Despite her efforts to disregard the biker's verbal abuse, he continued to trail her. "After a 10-minute pursuit, he managed to intercept my vehicle and proceeded to threaten me and screamed that he would rape me," the woman alleged.
A police officer said she stayed in her SUV and dialled 100 to call the police. A case was filed under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and Motor Vehicles Act.
