Actress booked for abusing Bengaluru cab driver

A Bengaluru cab driver has filed a complaint against Kannada actress Sanjjanna Galrani for allegedly abusing him when he refused to switch on the air-conditioner in the taxi.

Saying that putting on the AC is against Karnataka’s COVID-19 guidelines, the cabbie said that the actress abused him for denying her request.

Recounting the incident in his complaint, the cab driver said: “The actress increased it to level 4 and abused me. She also threatened to file a kidnapping case against me and to carry on a campaign against me on social media platforms. I have taken up the matter with the Karnataka Drivers Federation.”

However, Sanjjanaa denied the above statements with a detailed clarification. Stating that she hadn’t abused the driver, she wrote, “So many women are insulted and off-boarded the cabs in spite of paying full fees, I refused to be that woman… it’s my right as a customer to ask for good service after paying full charges for the cab. Simple, no more stories.”
