Mumbai’s Sahar police have arrested 50-year-old taxi driver Deshraj Yadav for allegedly cheating a US national of ₹18,000 (approximately $200) for a taxi ride of barely 400 metres from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport to a five-star hotel in Andheri (East) on January 12. Instead of taking the direct route, the driver allegedly took her on a prolonged detour around Andheri (East) for nearly 20 minutes before returning to the same area and dropping her close to her destination. In her viral post on X, Ariano wrote, “Landed in Mumbai recently and took a taxi to @HiltonHotels. Police tracked the vehicle, arrested Yadav within hours, and placed him in custody. In December 2024, Sahar police arrested a taxi driver for allegedly charging an Australian NRI businessman ₹2,800 for a 10-minute journey from the airport to a hotel in Vile Parle.
