The news television in India carried today a bizarre incident happened in Hyderabad, South of India.

A man hired a #Rapido, a two-wheeler hire service (a limited hire service operating only in few states) and sadly he found the scooter had run out of gas in the middle of journey.

How will he reach now to where he intended to go? It was a pre-paid service though.

No love lost between the two. Man insisted it was the rider’s fault to risk this deal and that left him at sea (pun intended). Rider said it was a sheer accident (no pun intended).

Rider obliged whatever the man said to do.

Man said; “push me to wherever you find a gas station close by and this is how I could punish you for negligence”.

The rest you see in the video-link attached.

What does the law say? Does the customer have the right to push the service-provider to this edge? Or is the rider duty-bound to carry him on his shoulders (literally) for the fact that he had agreed to provide him a service? For a cost.

What irks the most in this whole scenario is the other motorists on road care no two hoots (no pun intended) about what’s going on in the middle of road.

Someone could just halt, get down and ask if anybody was sick. What if they could offer to mediate between the two? Just in case the man wanted a quick resolution.

None helped.

Welcome to India!
