Noida horror: Cab driver flees with family in car, arrested

A cab driver was arrested in Greater Noida after he refused to stop for a police check, leading to a chase with a family held inside the vehicle on Thursday. The incident began in Noida when the driver evaded police, and ended with the family being let out on the Sector 66 road.

Nasim, 24, was driving a couple and their four-year-old daughter from Noida's Sector 119 to Connaught Place in Delhi when police signaled for him to stop near Parthala bridge. Instead, he sped off, colliding with another car during his attempt to escape.

According to police reports, the family pleaded with Nasim to stop the car, but he refused, saying his documents were incomplete and the car would be seized. The family recorded the chase on their phone. Videos shared online show the driver dodging traffic while being pursued by police.



Sanjay Mohan, a resident of Ajnara Homes and passenger in the cab, offered to pay a fine on the driver's behalf, but Nasim continued to refuse. Mohan's wife sustained minor injuries to her hand during the collision.

DCP Shakti Mohan Avasthy said, "The accused let the family go, perhaps because they were making videos and screaming for help. During interrogation, he admitted to driving the cab and using another name – Sonu – to cheat. We found Aadhaar cards in both the names."

Police later discovered that the car had over Rs 1 lakh in outstanding challans. The WagonR was seized and a challan amounting to Rs 29,250 was issued.


Uber India acknowledged the incident and stated, "Such behaviour has no place on our platform and violates our community guidelines. We have removed the driver's access to the platform. We connected with the said family and stand ready to assist law enforcement authorities with any information that they may require."

Nasim faces charges including rash driving, kidnapping, wrongful confinement, and forgery.
