A 20-year-old girl jumped from a moving rickshaw at Northern Bypass on Saturday after she claimed that the driver took the deserted route of Northern Bypass.
The incident diverted the attention of the passers-by, who apprehended the rickshaw driver and handed him over to police.
According to police, 20-year-old Bisma booked a rickshaw from Saddar for Korangi area of the city. The girl in her statement to police claimed that the rickshaw driver chose the deserted route of Northern Bypass, forcing her to jump from the moving vehicle.
