Auto driver refused meter and demanded 3x fare — traffic police took his side

On March 20 at Majestic bus stand, auto driver (vehicle #KA-01-AB-4521) refused to go by meter and demanded ₹600 for a 5km ride to Koramangala (meter fare would be ₹150-180). When I complained to the traffic police booth nearby, the constable told me to 'just pay and go' and refused to take any action. I have the auto number plate photo and a witness.
