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.

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