On 3rd May at around 4 am I and my wife boarded a taxi bearing registration number MH 01 X 4421 from Dadar railway station to Malad. The driver told that he shall be charging by meter. Subsequently he told that the meter rate is 1.5 times in the night. When we got down at Malad he showed a meter reading of 22.6 and as per his card asked for a payment of Rs 480. I paid him a 500 note, which through a sleight of hand he changed with a Rs 100 note and asked me to pay the balance amount. He did it again when I gave him another Rs 500 note. I actually thought that he may be right, but when I came inside the house and checked the balances I realised that the driver has taken me for a ride and collected more than Rs 1200 from me for a trip costing not more than Rs 300. Please take action against the taxi driver as he has made me feel miserable and looted me. There was an accomplice sitting with him all the way from Dadar to malad.

Please tell to whom I should complain. I was told that this is a common occurence at Dadar station during nighttime. Some one should investigate, so that others do not suffer my fate.
