Maharashtra Transport Minister Pratap Sarnaik posed as a rider to catch Rapido flouting the bike taxi ban in Mumbai.
Sarnaik booked a bike taxi on Rapido under a different name to verify the service's operational status.
Despite no action being taken against the bike taxi driver, the Maharashtra government is yet to finalize rules for bike taxi operations.
Bike taxi services in Maharashtra remain in limbo following the ban in January 2023, with the government still addressing safety concerns before finalizing the policy.
