A woman had a narrow escape when the radio taxi she was travelling in caught fire on Tuesday night, her husband has claimed in a Facebook post. According to Kapil Kaul, his wife Prachi had taken a cab belonging to radio taxi service ‘Easy Cabs’ , on her way home from the airport. The cab stopped suddenly after a few kilometres and passing vehicles alerted Prachi that her taxi was on fire, claimed Kapil. “A taxi number DL1RX6610 with the easy cabs with my wife aboard stopped suddenly..passing vehicles stopped and said to get out the cab as it is on fire…my wife jumped out of it and the whole cab caught fire (sic),” stated the post. Kapil said though the radio taxi service had promised to respond to the incident by 10 am on Wednesday, no one from Easy Cabs got in touch with them. On Thursday, he said he got an email from Easy Cab, stating that the car had been serviced only two days ago, and this was an “unfortunate incident”. - See more at: http://indianexpress.com/article/cities/delhi/woman-jumps-out-of-taxi-after-it-catches-fire-cab-service-says-it-was-only-smoke/#sthash.iJyjY6lM.dpuf
