Travel YouTuber Meet Dustin’s first day in Kolkata turned into a nightmare after a taxi scam escalated into a violent threat. In a viral nine-minute video titled “Taxi Driver in Kolkata Tried to Cheat and Threaten Me,” Dustin shared how he was taken 15 km in the wrong direction after clearly giving his destination—Hotel Great Western in Park Street.
