New Delhi: A Delhi court had convicted an auto-rickshaw driver for touting and alluring a passenger outside the domestic airport here last year.
However, Metropolitan Magistrate Pankaj Sharma let off Jitender Singh by imposing a fine of Rs.2,500 on him as he expressed remorse on his act and in view of his poor economic status.
The Domestic Airport police had lodged a case and arrested the driver on a complaint by the investigating officer in the matter under Section 4 of the Delhi Prevention of Touting and Malpractices against Tourists Ordinance Act, 2010.
They had charged him with soliciting the passenger in the parking lot outside Terminal 1-B of the Domestic Airport by touching his luggage to provide him taxi and hotel accommodation at lower than the market rates and discounts on shopping.
The court also dismissed arguments by counsel for the accused that the complainant in the case could not be the investigating officer.
