Bengaluru: Bengaluru’s first woman cab driver is no more. Bharathi Veerath created history two years ago by becoming the first woman cab driver in Bengaluru, when she joined Uber. But according to a report, the 33-year-old Veerath was found hanging in her rented home in Bengaluru on Monday. Veerath lived alone and her death is being treated as a suicide case by the police, though no suicide note was found. Veerath’s taxi — a Ford Fiesta that she had reportedly saved up to buy — was found abandoned near her house. According to the report, Veerath moved to Bengaluru from Andhra Pradesh ten years ago. She worked as a tailor and then with an NGO where she learnt how to drive. She then joined private taxi aggregator Uber cabs. Her body was found by her landlord, who told the police that Veerath had informed him that she planned to move back to Andhra soon.
