why after comma , taking , verb + ing has been used?

[chiyaan vikram]

. She delivered a healthy child, but her hopes bore little fruit for herself. She received only about Rs.75,000, with an autorickshaw driver who served as a middleman, taking a 50 per cent cut.

After comma ( ,) verb+ ing ( taking) has been used?

The comma before "taking" should not be there. The part "with an....cut" is a single phrase. Putting a comma in the middle confuses that.

"She received only about Rs.75,000, with an autorickshaw driver who served as a middleman taking a 50 per cent cut."

If I wanted to make the sentence clearer I would add parentheses:

"She received only about Rs.75,000, with an autorickshaw driver (who served as a middleman) taking a 50 per cent cut."

I don't think there should be a comma after middleman.
