India and Indians are not for beginners, and the typical shenanigans that often happen here are the very reasons why such phrases are becoming more common and 'believable' with every passing day. Demonstrating something similar, a video circulating widely on social media has captured a heated altercation between a cab driver and three women in the middle of a busy street in Delhi. The women, who had booked a cab from Patparganj to Maruti Vihar, allegedly refused to pay the fare after de-boarding the vehicle before reaching their final destination.
As per the details from the video, the women stopped the cab somewhere on the way to Maruti Vihar. When the driver requested the fare for the distance travelled, a dispute erupted. The woman insisted on not paying and demanded that the driver cancel the ride.
In the video, the cab driver can be heard expressing his willingness to drop them wherever they intended to go. However, the woman remained adamant and refused to go, alleging that the driver misbehaved. The specific location where the incident unfolded cannot be officially confirmed.

The video has sparked a debate online, with many users expressing their opinions on who was at fault. Till now, the clip has mustered over 90,000 views, and the numbers are still increasing.
'This was a part of their game. The location was entered a little far away, and the landing was to be done before that. A ruckus was created in between so that no money would have to be paid," read a comment.
'They are not customers they are freeloaders," stated a user.
An account remarked, 'I never pay the driver directly. They are also saying we will pay through the app. You get rides through the app, but payment you want directly in cash from the customer."
'Always don't blindly support passengers," said an individual.
A few echoed, 'When you can't afford it, why do you book & cancel a trip, incurring losses for the cab person? This shows something mischievous being played by the customer."
'This Kalesh is trending nowadays," another commented.
Meanwhile, cab authorities are yet to comment on the incident, and it remains unclear whether any formal complaint has been filed by either party.
