External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj on Sunday sought a report from Delhi Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung on the molestation of a Belgian woman by an Ola cab driver.

"I have asked Lt Governor Delhi for a report on the molestation of a Belgian girl by a Cab driver." Swaraj tweeted.

"We are committed to the safety and security of all foreign nationals in India," she posted in another tweet.

A 23-year-old Belgian woman on Saturday complained to the police in South Delhi that she was molested by the driver of an Ola cab while she was travelling from Gurgaon in Haryana to Delhi.

 

The driver, identified as Raj Singh, 23, a resident of Rajasthan, was arrested on Sunday from Gurgaon.

The web-based cab aggregator has terminated the driver with immediate effect from its platform.
