It is a real story of mine, a girl who is currently working in a company situated in Hyderabad.
I am sharing this with you all, so that you can alert yourself and your loved ones...!
It was approx 6.20 p.m. and I got late from the office, due to the pending work.
Usually, I leave by 6p.m. and I need to change two buses to reach my place from office.
I took the first bus from the office to one stop called Lakdi ka pool.
I reached there by 6.45p.m. From there I was not getting any bus and I had to purchase one office bag from the store near Lakdi ka pool bus stop ( I used to see that from the bus daily).
So, I thought let's purchase it today itself and then I will go by auto, as it's too late and also the buses were not coming on time that day.
So, I went to the bag shop, purchased the bag of my favorite color.
I was so happily returning back to the bus stop, from where I had to take the auto.
I stopped one auto, asked him to drop on my particular place.
Usually, these auto drivers ask just double the amount and then you need to bargain and so he asked to give me 70rs to drop me till that particular place.
So, I just said like that- "I have just now purchased this bag, therefore I just have this 40rs left. (40rs were just more than enough for just 1.5km) and if you want to drop me then it's fine, else let it be."
So, he agreed on that and asked me to sit.
I always used to wonder why these Hyderabad's girls use to wear scarfs in the evening time too.
That evening I realized why is it so.
It was almost 7p.m. in the auto and that man was asking me the questions like- "where are you working madam", "where do you live" etc. etc. etc.
Each time I was trying to avoid those answers, along with all these shits, he was continuously staring me from the mirror in the auto.
I tried to avoid that too, by shifting to the other side of the auto, while doing so, he also turned his mirror to that particular side. I was feeling insecure after this thing.
I even thought to change the auto, but when I looked outside, it was a road full of traffic.
Suddenly he asked that- "Have you ever went to necklace road (a place in Hyderabad)".
To avoid this thing, I just said that- "No, I never went there, please drop me at the particular place, I have asked for."
"Then let's go to Necklace road and he started turning towards that side."-He replied.
In a very rude manner I said that- "Bhaiyya I said know that I don't have money, you are dropping me to my place or not".
"Paise nakko madam, free me madam (I will not charge a single penny from you for that)"- He replied.
Fortunately, I got habituated for my way to home in just two days of my office-joining.
So I realized that it is not that way, from where my bus goes. I started shouting but as no one was responding, all were on their way to home in the busy traffic. So I decided to jump from the auto, I took my bag in hand and started taking it outside but instantly he stretch the accelerator and I was just about to fall.
But, then he also got afraid and said to me that- "ok ok madam, dropping you to your place directly."
And I got relieved but decided that as soon as I get down to the auto, I will see his number plate.
And finally my stop came and I asked him to drop right there, I didn't wanted him to see my flat.
I came out of the auto, gave him the money and saw at his number plate, but there was no as such.
He went from there, not only dropping me to that place, but dropping me in a state where I was full of fear and tears.
I called my room-mate cum Best-friend and told all what has happened to me. I was crying like hell standing alone on the main road. That was the worst incident of my life.
I could not call my parents at that time, because definitely it would have haunted them badly.
Though after few days, I told my Mumma about the incident.
Whose mistake it was. Mine? Who didn't saw the number plate first and sat in the auto or those traffic police' who just ignored that auto without number plate on it.
Whatever it may be...!
I just want you all girls to be the safest of all...!
Don't repeat the same mistake which I did...!
Always see the number plate and make a fake call saying that- Yea mom, I have sat in the auto with XYZ number plate, so at least he will be alert that he can't do any harm to you. Also, do text somebody in the auto you sat.
If possible don't take the auto after 7p.m., take a cab instead or a public vehicle will be safe either.
