New Delhi: Gurugram, the millennium city never sleeps and witnesses hustle-bustle through the day & night, owing to presence of numerous corporate offices & many Multi-national companies (MNCs).
Contrary to its corporate culture, a video of heated altercation between a woman and Gurugram cops has gone viral on social media where the former can be seen getting into verbal confrontation with the cops and also calling them names. The argument started apparently after the women refused to pay taxi fare after taking an overnight ride.
The woman allegedly took a ride in cab for almost 13 hours and then refused to pay Rs 2,000 cab fare, prompting the latter to call the cops.
According to the cab driver, the woman named Jyoti booked his cab from Medanta Hospital late at night and took many detours in the city through the night before de-boarding at 11 AM, next morning. When he asked the woman passenger for fare, she refused & even threatened the cab driver.
