'Bengaluru Never Felt So Unsafe': Wife Chased By Goons on Road, Husband Shares Horror Story

Instances of road rage accidents and goons pursuing vehicles to harass locals in Bengaluru are witnessing a concerning uptrend. A recent incident, gaining widespread attention after being shared on the micro-blogging site ‘X’ by user Srijan R Shetty, highlights the precarious situation. Shetty narrated the harrowing experience his wife faced when a group of men chased her car late at night, narrowly escaping with her quick thinking.

“I’ve never felt unsafe in Bangalore – I know my privilege of being a Kannada speaking male – but last Thursday night I felt how unsafe certain parts of the city are post 10pm,” he began. However, he recounted a different reality experienced by his wife on November 8. As she was driving home with some colleagues, their car became the target of a relentless chase by a group of men for several kilometres, even demanding she exit the vehicle.

But it didn’t end there. The ordeal escalated as revealed by Shetty who revealed, “A few tempo drivers hit her car from the backside and joined the man in the green shirt in trying to pressurise people who couldn’t speak Kannada. None of the bystanders helped the three women and a guy in the car,” continued Shetty in his detailed post, which included a snapshot of the men involved.
