Bengaluru Airport Fare Dispute: Cab Driver Withholds Luggage Over Extra Payment
•A fare dispute at Kempegowda International Airport escalated into a police complaint after a cab driver allegedly refused to return a passenger's luggage.
•The incident occurred on February 21, 2026, when a woman booked a Rapido cab from Sarjapur to the airport.
•The driver, Nagesh, allegedly demanded extra payment beyond the app-displayed fare, leading to a heated exchange when the passenger refused.

•Nagesh claims the Rapido app displayed a lower fare than government-approved rates for the 55 km journey and that he contacted police himself.
