She asked him to first drive her to Sector 31, then to the bus stand, and finally to Cyber City. “She asked for some money, and I gave her Rs 700. She ate and drank at various places, and I made all the payments. In the afternoon, when I demanded she pay and end the ride, she became enraged,” Ziauddin, a native of Dhana village in Nuh district, said.The driver alleged that Dalal threatened to frame him for theft or molestation, and went to the Sector 29 Police Station, where she created a ruckus.After she left, Ziauddin explained the incident to the police, who realized that Dalal was the same woman who had previously scammed a cab driver and a salon.According to police, she cheated a salon of Rs 20,000 and refused to pay Rs 2,000 to another cab driver. A video of Dalal arguing with a cab driver over a fare in February 2024 had also gone viral. “We have registered an FIR against Jyoti Dalal under fraud and other sections of BNS. A probe is underway, and she will be arrested soon,” said Sector 29 Police Station SHO Ravi Kumar. (With agency inputs)
