123 Kolkata: Lalbazar and Sealdah Traffic Guard have started a probe into the fracas outside the Sealdah station, involving three passengers and an app caby on Jan 11. A drive has also been launched to ensure cabs enter the pre-paid booth adjacent to the station and pick up passengers without demanding extra fares and also park only at designated spots.
According to the complainant, Rahul Deb Paul and his family members arrived at the station via Uttar Banga Express and were standing in the parking area to catch a cab. "A cabby ahead of us saw us standing behind him with our luggage and started honking. We told him that it was not an app cabs' parking spot. We tried to reason, saying it was not possible for us to move around since we were having luggage. The cabbie, however, suddenly started backing up and was on the verge of hitting another woman — an elderly citizen — who was standing beside us. We managed to move her out, but the cab crashed into her luggage. When I started to argue, the driver abused us," claimed Paul.
