A video of an Uber auto driver spending 10 to 15 minutes pushing a stranded woman's broken-down scooty through Bengaluru streets has drawn praise from social media users, who called the gesture a rare display of kindness.
The clip, posted on Instagram by passenger Chetna Saraf, shows the driver – identified as Tanzeem – driving alongside the woman while steadying her scooty with his hands and pushing it with his foot. Saraf said she was in the auto with her family, heading to lunch, when she noticed the driver pulling alongside the woman and initially wondered what he was doing.
"Turns out her scooty had broken down and for the next 10 to 15 minutes this man kept driving his auto while helping her move the scooty doing everything he could pushing it with his foot and holding it wherever he could," Saraf wrote. "He stayed with her until they reached a place where she could get some help."
Saraf tagged Uber India in her post and asked the company to give Tanzeem a raise. "His name is Tanzeem and I really hope this reaches the right people and he gets everything he deserves," she wrote. "Uber India, this man deserves a raise! If you need any more details please reach out to me and I'll share everything I have."
The post drew hundreds of reactions. Some users argued that the credit should go to Tanzeem personally rather than to Uber. "I don't think Uber should get the credit of this man. Tag this man and celebrate him. It was his good doing. Uber will hardly give any damn to his gig employees," one comment read.
Others noted how rare such gestures have become. "Seeing a human show humanity has become such a luxury these days. Wish to see more kind people," one user wrote. Another said: "We watched.. We smiled.. And told God to bless him!"
One user reflected on the initial skepticism the scene might provoke. "The first thought that came to my mind is, he's harrassing the girl. How our mindset is nowadays. Hats off to him," a comment read.
Saraf said she recorded only a small part of the interaction because she was "in the moment" and offered to share further details with Uber India if needed.
