Sir,
I am serving as a Police Officer/ACP in Mumbai/Maharashtra. We have came to Chennai for urgent surgery of my Nephew at Apollo Hospital, Chennai. On 04.05.2023 at around 1135 hrs, after doing procedures as Apollo Hospital, Thousands Light, Chennai, we came out to proceed towards Apollo Sprectra and asked an Auto Men (Regn No. TN-07-AP-7673) parked outside gate of Apollo Hospital for drop to Apollo Spectra Hospital and asked fare. He told Rs. 50/- and asked us to seat. After seating in Rickshaw, he asked about the adress to another Automen and informed us he will charge RS. 200/- instead of Rs. 50/- and started turning the Auto. We denied for same and try to get down from auto but he started Auto and in one hand hold hand of my 11 yrs old nephew and started threatening us to travel in his auto only and pay Rs. 200/- if you wnat to get down and didn't stop the auto. As we didn't know Tamil language we requested him to stop in English/Hindi but he didn't stop. My Nephew as well as we were quite scared of this incident. Hence, we silently travelled from his Auto and paid Rs. 200/- to him after travelling maximun 3.5 KMs of distance from Apollo Main to Apollo Spectra Hospital.
Same sort of incidents happen to us aftewards also when we travelled from another hospital/locations. The Auto mens ask us to seat in Auto agreeing fare of RS. 50/- but after reaching they demanded RS. 70/- forcibly. But these incidents were normal than above one.
Is it really easy to roam around Chennai scareless in such arrogant and arbitrary attitude of such Auto Men towards outsiders.. Was this information helpful? |
