This e-rickshaw driver from West Bengal will offer you a free ride, but there's a twist!

New Delhi: A lot can happen over this E-Rikshaw ride but turns out, you have to earn it. In a rather interesting incident from West Bengal, an E-rikshaw driver is willing to offer his passengers a free ride, but there’s a twist- you have to answer some general knowledge questions first.

A Facebook user by the name of Sankalan Sarkar brought Suranjan Karmakar, an E-rikshaw driver from West Bengal, to social media users’ attention after he offered him a deal to answer 15 GK questions to get a free ride.

“Today I met one of the most interesting people I’ve ever come across in Liluah. We were traveling on his Toto (battery run e-rickshaw, for those who haven’t been on one) to Rangoli Mall when suddenly he turned around and asked us, ‘I’ll let go of the fare if you can answer 15 general knowledge questions I’m going to ask you,” Sarkar wrote on Facebook.

Sarkar also talked about a wide range of questions Kumar asked him. From the author of the national anthem, first Bengal CM, to World’s first test-tube baby and Sridevi’s birthdate, the -e-rickshaw driver knew it all.

Interestingly, the driver answered some of the questions asked by Sarkar as well.

With Sarkar, Kumar managed to impress several social media users with his knowledge.

The post went viral and received an overwhelming response from the users.

“Fascinating stuff,” wrote a Facebook user. “Waah. Interesting” shared another. “Aamar satheo inar porichoy ache…darun interesting manush ini [I know him, he is very interesting person],” expressed a third.
