[Resolved]  Kolkata Taxi — Kolkata taxi meter tampered with

Address:West Bengal

Myself and the children today travelled by taxi no.WB 04A 3040 from Rowdon street to Behala chowrasta and we paid more than the amount we should pay after getting down half a KM from the destination. I challeged him from new Alipore and he started behaving badly to us and he even asked us if we travelled by cab everyday. Suddenly I saw the distance reading down to 0 from the current value.It convinced me more! I had the same experience while travelling from salt lake area on some occasion. The taxi meter are mostly tampered with when we travel in and around Kolkata and get cheated all the time.
Please do something!
Thanks

Taxi Fraud — Tampered Meter

My brother today came in a taxi ( WB-B-3063) from Calcutta Science City to Sinthee More, which he had to pay the fare of Rs.950, but the meter of the taxi was in working condition. How is it possible? Please take necessary action.
Anyone knows where to complain officially about the meter tampering?
I travelled by Taxi number WB04E 8750 on 22-Aug from Science City to Sec V and the day being a holiday there was hardly any traffic. The distance being around 7 Kms, the usual fare is around 70 bucks. But this taxi having a totally faulty meter (with taxi driver manipulating a wire near the steering wheel), registered a fre of 130 bucks with a distance reading as 12.8 Kms which is totally crap. I ran from pillar to post seeking police help but it being a holiday there were hardly any in the region I got down. Later I registered a complaint with Kolkata Police against this taxi and to get his meter checked, however I was told that it was not possible after a gap of 2 hours. I request all Kolkatans to be aware of this fraud taxi owner/driver and take him straight to a Police station rightaway (as was ifnormed by local PS) and get his meter checked. The total fine payable by taxi owner is Rs 500 of which govt get 250 bucks while the rest is distributed to the victim.
