Woman refuses to pay Rs 300 cab fare, blames driver for traffic delay: ‘300 ki jagah 3 lakh ka nuksaan nhi hua tumhara toh…’

The driver fires back in Hindi, saying, “Don’t talk to Uber, you are running away with my money. You were late… just 2 minutes in traffic. It’s not my fault. You are running away with my Rs 300″.

At one point, the woman claims that the delay was intentional, as he was fighting with the bus guy, too. The driver, growing more exasperated, responds, “You people don’t even have the capacity to pay Rs 300, how will you ride cars?” and goes on to curse her that “if she didn’t suffer a loss of Rs 3 lakh, then my name is not Ram.”

Despite his insistence, the woman walks away into a building without paying. The video features overlay text such as “Is it the driver’s fault if there’s traffic?” and “Didn’t pay the driver Rs 300”.

एक लाख का फोन और कम से कम 30,000रु की साड़ी पहनी है मैडम ने — और टैक्सी वाले को 300 रु तक नहीं दे रही… टैक्सी वाला late भी हुआ होगा तो ट्रैफिक की वजह से।

Social media users were quick to react, largely criticizing the woman’s behaviour and questioning how someone with an expensive phone could refuse to pay a modest fare. A user wrote, “The taxi driver should get an FIR registered against the woman with the police, so that she also realizes that not paying the fare of a poor auto driver also falls under the category of a crime.”

Another user wrote, “It’s wrong what happened with the taxi driver, but we’ve faced similar situations where we asked him to wait fr just 2 minutes n he charged us 100 extra. It was Ola. Since we had no option, we had to pay. The drivers are no less; they cancel without informing. UPI isn’t accepted.”

A third person added, “This is modern higher middle class!! Earlier, due to the lack of resources they were mellow. Now the asli sanskar (aukat) is flaunted!.. I wonder if she is able to talk in the same way to her maidservants!”
