Actor asks AC to be on, cabbie files complaint

Acab driver has filed a complaint against Kannada actress Sanjjanna Galrani for allegedly abusing him when he did not switch on the air-conditioner in the taxi.

The cabbie says putting on the air conditioner is against Karnataka’s Covid-19 norms, but Sanjjanna went on social media stating that she was harassed by the cab driver and he did not mention anything about Covid-19 norms. The video of the incident, meanwhile, has gone viral.

In his complaint, the cabbie said Sanjjanaa had boarded his taxi on Tuesday. “She sat in the vehicle and asked me to switch on the air-conditioner. I refused to do it as it’s against government’s Covid-19 guidelines. However, she insisted that I should switch on the AC and I put it at level 1,” he said.

Recounting the incident in his complaint, the cabbie added: “The actress increased it to level 4 and abused me. She also threatened to file a kidnapping case against me and to carry on a campaign against me on social media platforms.”

The actress said that it was only after she called the cops that the driver dropped her off at the destination. Meanwhile, police said that there were looking into the matter.
