“Not all heroes wear capes. Some drive cabs.” A Rapido driver named Vikas has been praised online for his kindness after helping a pregnant woman deliver her baby inside his cab. The incident took place when he was taking the woman and her husband to the hospital, but she went into labour during the ride. Seeing the urgency, Vikas stepped in and assisted with the delivery before safely taking them to the hospital.

The unforgettable ride

The heartwarming story was shared on Reddit by Rohan Mehra, who had booked the ride for his cook and his pregnant wife.

“I booked a rapido for my cook as his wife was pregnant…. She was in a lot of pain while going to the hospital and couldn’t bear the pain and delivered the baby boy in the car itself. The driver helped the cook deliver the baby and took them to the hospital afterwards. He even charged the amount that was showing in the app and didn’t even ask for extra money,” Mehra wrote.

The ride was booked on February 19 at 11 PM, picking up the couple from Dundahera, Surya Vihar in Sector 21, Gurugram, and dropping them off at Vikas Nagar in Sector 10, Gurugram.

The internet calls the driver a hero

After hearing the story, many people on Reddit appreciated the driver’s kindness.

“This was wholesome,” commented one user. Another added, “A whole movie, dude! God bless the driver and everyone.”

Mehra also wanted to do something special for the driver but was unable to contact him. He requested Rapido and its co-founder Pavan Guntupalli to help him connect with Vikas. He even shared a screenshot of the ride details to help locate him.

This touching story shows how simple acts of kindness can make a huge difference. Vikas, the driver, not only helped in a critical moment but also proved that humanity still exists.
