These apps were being exploited to remotely turn off e-rickshaws. Authorities launched an investigation into the software after several prank videos began circulating online. In these incidents, individuals used Bluetooth to connect to the vehicles, cutting off their battery power and leaving drivers stuck in the middle of their trips.
