....the taxi service  representative  tried to contact coral villas on a sudden idea that cropped up in his mind,  meantime  the pickup point  showed by the driver  the address and location were traced, the  owner  and his contact  numbers and other details were found,  talal husni the name  of the owner  of the address  should be contacted first  he thought before the police arrived,  he knew talal husni was a famous  high Court senior judge 

Sir I am speaking from the private car company  office,  a few minutes ago  a taxi from the company picked up a ride from your house,  the office man opened  an introductory  line when  husni spoke,  the name of the passenger is Nisha saba  , destination  time apartments,  there is urgent  information that I would like to share with you 

Is everything okay  officer,  husni  s voice sounded  worried,  Nisha saba is my  special guest,  I can't hear  anything  bad about her

It's not about good or bad,  nothing is predictable at this point,  the company man frankly explained the situation,  that the taxi driver was stopped by a fake police officer  on pretext of   checking his license he was commanded to get out of the car and the taxi was driven away by two other unknown people  and a biker came and picked up the fake police man 

All the taxi drivers are trained and law abiding and from the tracking system the  taxi is located,  to reach them  we need to call the police  so I thought of informing you  first,  if they were merely  car robbers the passenger would have been dumped,  in that case  our customer Nisha saba  your  special guest would have contacted you  but this didn't happen

...on the pretext of checking the papers  the traffic police man took  taxi driver aside  and  it was during that time  two men high jacked  the taxi with the passenger,  the taxi driver  spoke to the police officer someone was driving away his taxi,  he asked him for his help,  the passenger was also  inside,  it was a serious matter 

You just hold these documents,  we shall look into the case later,  the officer  handed the driver his license and other papers,  that moment a bike stopped by the police man,  who  was ready to leave,  the taxi driver appealed he wasn't doing the right thing,  he would report him , the police man  uttered dirty foul words as he flung the papers on his face,  the bike left , the driver quickly understood they all were  together  in  stealing his vehicle with the passenger m , his mind was actively working  properly m the taxi he was driving  belonged to a famous truck company,  he immediately rang up his company and informed them of the situation,  the officer listened to him carefully and then asked him if the GPS  tracking system was on 

Yes sir,  I always  turn it in on during the ride 

Very good 

Where exactly did this happen 

From what location was the passenger picked up by you
