Thanks. Good info. I did complain once 3 years back... Somehow I felt action was taken coz a few months later read something in news about a driver whose name matched...

Even I have been at the receiving end of this, when I have commuted by auto in Bangalore.
One guy took me around the domlur area twice, round and round, and would have gone thrice if I hadnt interjected saying that I knew what he was doing!
