Palghar, Maharashtra: A 46-year-old Ola driver tragically died by suicide on Wednesday after consuming poison in the Nalasopara area, under the jurisdiction of the Pelhar Police Station. On Thursday, his distraught family members and fellow Ola drivers staged a vigorous protest outside the hospital, accusing Ola company's arbitrary policies of driving him to this extreme step.
The deceased, identified as Sanoj Saxena (46), resided in Bilalpada, Nalasopara East, with his wife, son, and two daughters. He was employed as a driver with Ola. On Wednesday evening, he returned home and ingested poison. Later that evening, his wife and daughter found him unconscious. With the help of locals, he was rushed to a government hospital, where doctors declared him dead.
On Thursday morning, a large gathering of family members and Ola drivers created a commotion outside the hospital. They vehemently alleged that Saxena's financial condition had deteriorated significantly due to the arbitrary practices of Ola.
They claimed he was under immense stress as he couldn't afford to pay his car installments, which ultimately led him to take his own life. Further investigation is underway.
