According to the police, Mimi ignored the matter at first, but the taxi driver again passed some comments, after which she chased the vehicle and confronted him. In the meantime, a few passersby gathered in the area, and sensing trouble, the taxi driver fled.

He was later arrested from South Kolkata. He has been identified as one Deba Yadav. The arrested driver has been booked under IPC sections for molestation and stalking.
