TAXI driver Kishan Lalka knew his career would never be the same when he heard his passengers sniggering, the sound of pants being hastily buttoned, and a particularly pungent stench filling his ­nostrils.

Taxi driver Kishan Lalka described the souvenir as the “worst s---”

The 30-year-old Darwin Radio Taxis driver had picked up five passengers in his VW Caddy maxi taxi outside the old Honeypot strip club on Darwin’s Mitchell St at 9.30pm on Monday.


It seemed a normal fare, then things went terribly wrong.

“One guy who was sitting on the behind seat, he did the worst s--- – (it) can’t even be imagined by a human being,” Mr Lalka told the NT News.

The boys had asked to be dropped off at Bayview St in Fannie Bay.

He said they were drunk, caucasian, and appeared to be Australian and aged in their early 20s.

“There was a smell in the car and one of the guys sitting behind me did a poo,” he said.

“The guys said ‘don’t stop the car’. I was scared. I stopped and jumped out of the car.”

Mr Lalka said he called police but failed to get a ­response.

When the boys had gone and Mr Lalka returned to the car, he couldn’t face the dump left in the footwell of the car.



“A guy was walking past and I just gave him $300 to clean the car,” he said. “I don’t know where he put it.”

Mr Lalka, a driver for two years, said the $8 fare was unpaid.

“I had a real bad headache because of the smell,” he said.

“When I sleep, I feel the smell. I didn’t have dinner last night.

“I talked to the base and they all started laughing. I don’t want to do this any more. It’s a s--- job.

“Some people say it’s a s--- job. But actually, it is s---.”

This sort of news is much more intellectually stimulating than what you see on channel 7.
