A cab driver who ferried a man returning from Spain from Bengaluru’s Kempegowda International Airport to a local hotel on March 13, fled the city after learning that the man has been tested positive for Coronavirus. He fled to his village in Tamil Nadu after authorities from the Health and Family Welfare Department informed him about the passenger, The Times of India reported.

The cab driver, who has been ferrying passengers in the city for the past 15 years, was working with a cab aggregator for the last couple of years. He was quoted saying that the authorities contacted him five days after he ferried the passenger. He was shocked to know that he was the man’s primary contact and was asked to immediately wash the car.
