[Resolved]  Red Taxi — Wrong meter

Address:

Kolkata, West Bengal, 700068

Sir,
I was travelling to Ruby Crossing, south Kolkata from Dumdum airport on 03.03.17 between 6 pm to 7 pm in an non prepaid yellow taxi.To my astonishment the Meter reading showed Rs 500 as taxi fare for the distance which barely should be Rs 250. The taxi driver insisted that it was an authentic fare as the cab took a route via Rajarhat.The taxi number was WB04 E7400.Being on way to home after a long tour and burdened with lots of luggage I could not afford to go far enough with the trouble at that time. But I would request appropriate competent authority to take action against such cabs with fabricated meters to avoid more malpractice.
