According to the message in The times of IndiaOne of the incidents under careful control is envisaged by a student who filed a complaint with the police of the new city of Elaka on Friday, claiming that the driver threatened him in the first hours of March 23 and forced him to transfer money.

The student claimed that he booked a taxi from Kia to his residence in the new city of Elaka for a concerted tariff 800. However, in the middle of the trip, the driver allegedly stopped at the apartment on the Dodaballapur road and demanded 2837, using threats to intimidate the passenger. Fearing for his safety, the student gave way and made a payment on the Internet before he was allowed to leave.

Another student, 18 years old, had a separate meeting with the same driver of the same night. He reportedly hired a taxi from the airport to Tavarecker, but there was a dispute near them near the Mehkri circle. The situation intensified by leading them to the police department Chikkadzhaja, where the case was resolved after the student paid 800 to the driver.

Both incidents occurred last north on March 23, and the CAB, which participates in both cases, has the KA-53-AB-5106 registration number. The student who filed the complaint told in detail in his DA that he booked a taxi around 12:30 in the morning. While the driver initially agreed 800 as a tariff, he later stopped riding in an isolated area and forced the student to pay almost four times more than a concerted amount. The student asked for lawsuits against the driver for extortion.

However, the authorities called him for questioning, given that VAT was filed against him.
