  "account": "A LinkedIn post has exposed a disturbing incident of harassment involving a Rapido delivery captain. Geetika Srivastava, a digital reputation professional, detailed her experience of receiving unwanted romantic messages from a delivery rider. The exchange escalated when the rider asked her how she was, to which she threatened a police complaint. Surprisingly, the rider's response was dismissive, suggesting she lodge a complaint with Rapido instead. Geetika eventually blocked the rider and shared her story on LinkedIn, criticizing the company's apparent tolerance of such behavior. She questioned why booking a Rapido delivery now involves risking harassment. Rapido Support later issued a generic apology, promising to improve customer safety, but critics argued their response failed to address the issue adequately. The post sparked outrage, with many users condemning Rapido's handling of the situation and calling for stricter action against the perpetrator.",
