Cabbie throws passengers out for ‘casteist remarks’, app removes him for 100 years

A Lucknow cab driver alleges his account was suspended for 99 years after passengers used casteist slurs. Ankit Kumar asked four passengers to exit his vehicle for their offensive remarks. The incident occurred after the passengers repeatedly targeted a senior officer with casteist comments. Following a viral video, Kumar faced threats and abusive messages on social media. The ride-hailing platform suspended his account without seeking his account of events.
