As the video went viral after Priyanshi Pandey shared it on her social media handle, the auto driver filed a police complaint against her. In his complaint, the auto driver alleged that after dropping the woman and her sister, he asked for the fare, but she refused to pay, saying“they were students.”
“When I dropped them and asked for fare, they refused saying they were students. When I kept demanding the fare, one of them got hold of my collar and gave her mobile to her sister and asked her to record it. I then said I don't want fare. I did not even touch them,” NDTV quoted the auto driver as stating in the complaint.
