The constable impounded the cab driver’s licence

Tony Almeida, 25, a resident of Vasai, was standing outside Oberoi mall at around 5.30pm on Saturday. He was looking for an auto that would drop him to the Goregaon station.
After several autorickshaw drivers did not respond to his calls, he called out to a taxi (MH 01 AM 8222). When Almeida told the 42-year-old taxi driver, Omprakash Dudhnath Tiwari, that he wanted to go to the Goregaon station, Tiwari refused. Just as he was about to drive away, a traffic constable from the Goregaon traffic outpost spotted the duo.
“The constable asked me if the driver had refused to take me to the station. When I told him what had happened, the cop called an autorickshaw for me and impounded the cab driver’s licence,” said Almeida, an employee with a private firm. Tiwari, a resident of Lower Parel, was the given a receipt and asked to appear before the court on a specific date.
