A cab driver has been arrested after he held a family "hostage" during their ride as Noida Police chased the speeding car for deliberately jumping barricades, officials said on Saturday (August 16, 2025).
PCR sirens blaring in the background, a four-year-old frightened girl crying, and her parents pleading with the driver to stop the vehicle — showed a video of the nerve-racking incident recorded by the family.
Noida Phase 3 Police said the accused has been arrested and two Aadhaar cards were found in his possession — one in the name of ‘Nasim’ and another ‘Sonu’.
On Thursday at around 1.30 p.m., Sanjay Mohan booked a cab for Delhi’s Connaught Place from his home in Greater Noida.
Mr. Mohan, his wife and their four-year-old daughter sat in the cab and started their ride. However, at Parthala bridge in Noida, police signalled the driver to stop but he sped off, jumping the barricades, the police said.
