Dude tbh there was absolutely no need to stretch the issue. You could have simply paid the rider and kept that screenshot with yourself. The company would have refunded you.
Similar situation I have encountered in the past with rapido , zomato , one other app also I can’t recall it’s name and in all those situations I was super chill and did pay the amount because I knew I had the receipt for it and I can take it forward and everytime I got my refund !!
Sach me Bhai kuch log hote hain thode drama wale (main tuje bhi nahi kehraha hu)
Bas kehraha hu thoda chill mijaaz ka ban aur ese drama wale logon se dur reh. At the end of the day tera peace of mind teri safety is way more than that 50 or something rs.
