CNG driver's novel scam on Bangladeshi tourist in Bengaluru

A Bangladeshi blogger came to Bangalore, India. Hired a CNG (auto) for sightseeing. Later, the driver was accused of taking more money from the Bangladeshi tourist while paying the fare. 

The blogger's camera captured the video of the driver taking more money from the tourist and putting it in his shirt sleeve. Later, another Kolkata blogger tagged the Bengaluru police by tweeting the 33-second video. The police are investigating. After that, the accused CNG driver was arrested by Bengaluru police very quickly. 

The blogger from Kolkata named Mruthunjay Sardar tweeted, 'Bangladeshi blogger and his girlfriend were visiting Bengaluru Palace. A local CNG driver cheated them. See how we treat foreigners! Please take action against the accused.'  

It is reported that the incident happened a week ago. Mohammad Fitz, a Bangladeshi blogger, and his girlfriend, hires a CNG driver to take them to the 'sight scenes' of Bangalore city. And yes they will pay rent according to CNG meter. After that, when the Bangladeshi citizen reached their destination, it was found that the fare was 320 rupees. Mohammad Fitz then handed the driver a Rs 500 note from his wallet. But while talking to the Bangladeshi tourist, the CNG driver very tactfully slipped the 500 rupees note under the left sleeve of his shirt. Instead, he showed the 100 rupee note in his left palm and demanded extra money. Naturally, the tourist got confused and paid the fare with another Rs 500 note to the driver. 

However, when the Bangladeshi tourist later went to edit the video of the CNG driver paying the fare on his camera, he realized that he was a victim of fraud after seeing the video and this novel fraud incident of the CNG driver also came to light. 

Later Mohammad Fiz posted the video on his Facebook and YouTube and described the incident. He said, thinking of visiting Bangalore city. Then two CNG drivers came to me. A deal is made with one of them.'

He also said, 'Before I took out my wallet, the CNG driver left a note of Rs 100 in his hand. After taking the 500 rupees note from me, he tucked it into his shirt sleeve. Instead, he showed a 100 rupee note in his hand and said that the rent was 320 rupees. 

Fiz also said, 'At first I thought I might have made a mistake, I might have given a 100 rupee note thinking it was 500 rupees. Later I give another Rs 500 note.' 

The Bangladeshi blogger would not have been cheated if he had booked that CNG through the Akshap online app. Even though he was cheated, he could have complained to the police station later with the number of that CNG. In that case, the accused CNG driver could have been traced very easily. 

As the blogger from Kolkata reported this video to the Bengaluru police through social media, naturally the accused CNG driver was arrested by the Bengaluru police. Later, the police tweeted that the accused CNG driver had been arrested. And he has been handed over to the law and order forces of Sadashivnagar police station for further action.'
