The police are on the lookout for a taxi driver who duped a Dahisar resident by distracting him with a bright blue light when he was paying his fare, causing a loss of Rs 1,500. The entire incident was captured by a closed-circuit television (CCTV) camera in the complainant’s housing society.
The victim, Rajesh Ramani, 32, a resident of Jay Jalaram Apartments at Maratha Colony in Dahisar East, got into the taxi with his wife and children outside Dadar railway station in the wee hours of Wednesday. They were returning from Hyderabad. Ramani told mid-day, “At 4.45 am, I hailed a taxi outside Dadar station and the driver told me he would charge me R1,500 flat. Around 5.39 am, we reached our society and the driver helped unload our luggage.”
