Bengaluru, June 5 (IBNS): A 26-year-old woman, travelling in an Ola cab to catch a flight from Bengaluru airport, was held hostage, molested and forced to strip by the driver, media reports said.

The police has arrested the driver after the victim registered a formal complaint.

According to reports, the woman, who was travelling alone, had an early morning flight to catch to Mumbai on Friday, June 1.

The driver took a detour claiming they would reach early.

The victim is an architect by profession.

When they reached a secluded area, the driver locked the car doors and windows and molested the woman.
