I travelled from Paryatak Bhavan in begumpet to Anand Nagar colony in Khiaratabad via auto rickshaw no. Ap9 v 5722 at 01:30am after getting of the Aero Express Bus. The subject auto rickshaw driver initially asked for an exorbitant amount of 110 rupees. On negotiation, he finally agreed on putting the meter and said he will charge 1 1/2 times the amount. Assuming that the meter would not exceed 20-25 rupees i had agreed to the driver s condition. However to my dismay, i noticed after reaching half way that the distance calculator in the digital meter was not working and also the meter was climbing very quickly. On reaching Anand nagar colony, the meter was 39.80 rupees!
This is definitely a case of vandalism and cheating as i ended up paying 80 rupees for a trip from paryatak bhavan to Anand Nagar. The driver has definitely tampered with the meter of the auto rickshaw.
I request the concerned to look into the matter and consider cancelling the subject driver s licence and/or fine him accordingly to not repeat such act of treason with others.
