New Delhi, May 29 -- A US tourist's trip to Kolkata, the City of Joy, turned 'ridiculous' after a dispute over fares with a local taxi driver - who threatened him with "mafia connections". The man recorded the entire incident and shared it on YouTube, where the video has since gone viral.

"From this point forward, I will never use random taxi drivers from the airport - always Uber. I didn't plan to make any videos from the airport as I was already tired from travelling.
