Bengaluru was shamed last week, when an architect was molested, forced to strip and have her nude pictures clicked by her Ola driver, who threatened to get her gangraped if she didn't comply.
After the harrowing experience, she begged him to release her and promised she wouldn't tell anyone.
But she contacted police soon after he let her go.
He was nabbed within hours.
