Easy Cabs — abusive and violent driver.

Address: Bangalore, Karnataka

This has reference to my experience yesterday on 17 April 2015. Reserved a taxi number KA 01 AA 6546 driven by driver Parmeshwaran. at the outset when I asked him switch on the meter he refused and said that I has to pay a flat amount of 900 plus toll. I confronted him and said that toll is for coming into Bangalore and no toll for going to airport. He said since he had paid toll to come to pick me up I was liable to pay the same. I wanted to get down from the taxi when he became abusive and said that in that case I had to pay him Rs 300. Which I refused. He did not let me get down when I asked him to take me to a police station and if the policeman asked me to pay even a couple of thousand, I would do so. For this he said why should a policeman decide. He started shouting at the top of his voice. I showed him a taxi bill for 635 which I had paid when I came from airport to yeshwantpur and agreed to pay him 750/-. Suddenly he started speaking to all the taxi guys driving alongside us and was telling them I as a customer was only going to pay him 500 which is a complete lie. He started abusing in my fathers name and started saying when you yearn so much why cant u just pay me a bit more. He said he has to pay money to the company and had changed two tyres which had cost him Rs 7000/-. I told him that this is none of my concern and I will in no way conned by you, he then threatened by saying do you know in Karnataka when a taxi driver can get away by doing any sort of thing and he pushed my hand as I was sitting in the back seat. I took this threat seriously and called my friend for help since I did not know the number of the vehicle when we reached
