Bengaluru: A man was beaten up by a gang of Uber drivers at Kempegowda International Airport for asking to wear seatbelts.

The victim Dave Banerjee (48) shared his anguish on Twitter and posted a few pictures too.

“Got beaten up by a mob of 20+ #Uber drivers at #Bangalore Airport last night for demanding seatbelts. Uber SOS said ‘we can’t help, call the police’,” tweeted Dave Banerjee hours after the incident.

Uber responded, saying that the matter was of ‘grave concern’. However, no action has been taken so far.

Banerjee also said that eyewitnesses did nothing to stop the group of around 20-25 drivers. He contacted Uber, who directed him to call the police, who didn’t answer his calls either.
