A Bengaluru man shared on Tuesday a scary incident that happened with his wife when her car was chased by a group of men in the city. According to the man, her wife and other occupants of the car were even asked to get out of the vehicle by the group of people chasing them.
Srijan R. Shetty took to X (formerly Twitter) and shared details of the incident that took place on November 8.
“On 8th November, my wife offered to drop off some other colleagues (2 females, one male) considering it was hard to get a cab from Sarjapur. Their car was chased down by a bunch of men for a few km – she was smart enough to stop only on the main road and inform the cops as soon as possible,” the man wrote in his post.
Srijan further said the group of men chasing his wife’s car demanded that all occupants step out of the vehicle for “alleged damage” during the chase.
“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,” he added.
“If it wouldn’t have been for her wits of calling the cops and then calling us and 10 of her friends to immediately join her at her location, the incident could have taken a different turn,” the post further read.
Srijan then stressed that the city “needs security” especially the Sarjapur area which has been a “hotspot for these incidents and we need to figure out a solution to curb this menace”.
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.I’ve seen those horrific videos of fake accidents in Sarjapur where hooligans have tried to blackmail… pic.twitter.com/lwHK8dymZM
