In his defence, the driver explains that he depends on this job for sustenance, but the woman dismisses his pleas, saying he should maintain the vehicle better if it is indeed his "rozi-roti".

The woman is seen persistently demanding a refund for the deducted fare, ignoring the driver's explanation that refunds are handled by Uber. She even accused him of being a fraudster, disregarding his attempts to clarify the situation.

When the driver threatened to report her behaviour to Uber, the woman got worked up. She escalated the situation with threats of physical violence and public humiliation, yelling, "Chappal marungi sidha muh pe (will throw a slipper straight at your face)."

The video has triggered widespread reactions from viewers, with many condemning the woman's behaviour as unacceptable.
