A cab driver was booked for reportedly taking a woman passenger to a deserted stretch near Kothwalguda on the outskirts of Shamshabad and fleeing with her bag containing ₹60,000 following a dispute over the fare on Saturday.

The 38-year-old woman, a resident of Nalgonda district, had hired the cab at Jadcherla around 6 p.m. to travel to Hyderabad.

According to her complaint, after reaching Shamshabad, the driver offered to drop her at Gachibowli for an additional ₹50. She agreed and continued the journey.

After crossing the Tondupally toll gate, the driver allegedly stopped near a medical shop on the ORR service road, saying he needed to purchase medicines.
