Kalyan Taxi Driver Threatened With False Harassment Case Demanding ₹10,000
A taxi driver was driving when two women stopped him and asked for a ride.
They wanted to go to a town called Bhiwandi, even though he said he was only going part of the way.
During the drive, the women asked him for 10,000 rupees.
When the driver said no, the women got very angry and said they would tell the police that he hurt them.
They even ripped their own clothes to make it look real.
The driver did not give them any money.
Instead, he called the police and drove straight toward the police station.
When the women saw a police car coming, they jumped out of the moving taxi and ran away.
A video of what happened was shared online and many people saw it.
Two women in Kalyan, Maharashtra, allegedly demanded ₹10,000 from taxi driver Sachin Shendge and threatened to file a false harassment case against him.
The women reportedly tore their own clothes when the driver refused to pay them.
