Aparna Vinod shared her experience on Facebook thanking Bengaluru police. She even gave them 5 stars and praised the autorikshaw driver for not overcharging though their home was 10 kilometres away in Hennur.

#BengaluruCityPolice, would like to thank you !
Last evening a friend and me were stuck in Indiranagar for over an hour with no sign of Uber or Ola agreeing to take us back home at 10 pm. To add to our woes the rain made it impossible for us to walk up to find an auto. As we helplessly stood in front of the hotel where we had our dinner, we saw a traffic police vehicle go past. I ran up the vehicle in the rain and asked them to help us find a ride. To be honest we were extremely doubtful of any help coming our way, but you proved us wrong :) Your team actually sent an auto to pick us up !
The driver didn’t even charge exorbitantly ( infact we were more than happy to pay, as he had to ferry us back to Hennur through lashing rain ). Both #Uber and #Ola where running on surge pricing all of last night and being unresponsive to all bookings.
But you guys and the auto driver were the real heroes of last night. I can’t tell you how reassured we were to know that when in need, we can count on you guys! Thanks yet again. I could not get the names of the team who helped us as we were soaking in the rain. But I do know that they are from the Indiranagar Police Station. If it all you happen to read this – A big thank you to you guys!
Bengaluru Police Commissioner Praveen Sood shared her post on Twitter and thanked her. Twitterati too praised the people friendly Bengaluru police.
