I'm from north karnataka and recently a traffic policeman verbally abused me for asking if I could take a right turn near dalmiya circle, coffee day. He was so loud and yelled at me using abusive words and shockingly people around were giggling!!! A rickshaw driver even jumped and started asking rhetorical questions! This made me very angry because they knew I'm from north karnataka as it's evident from registration number and I look a little bit like North Indian as I stayed in north and west India for a long time. Honestly speaking, this never happened to me in maharashtra state when I stayed there for 5 years! These incidents don't just happen randomly, they're preplanned after doing racial profiling. Pathetic state of affairs in bangalore, considering to leave after much abuse for 5 years almost now.

I was traumatised mentally and recovered days after the incident. I didn’t reported it because I was young and vulnerable.

I was attacked by a thug similarly in Bangalore for no fault of mine. He blocked his vehicle in front of me and came to my car and started hitting me saying that I used abused words. I never used any abusive language at him. I was unwell on that very day, was alone and was coming back after a long day in office. Was not able to react much and had to suffer a lot of blows for no fault of mine. It was in murugeshpalya, near GVC IT park, right in heart of the city in full view of multiple people but no one intervened. After the incident, I realized I am not safe in the city since I can be attached any time made up my mind to leave the city when I had a chance.

Similar thing happened with my parents who are senior citizens. Out of nowhere four guys blocked my father's car near Electronic City and accused him of hitting their tempo. They tried to intimidate my parents and forcefully enter the car. Luckily the doors were locked and windows completely up. My dad was aware of this scam and asked them to come to the police station for mediation. As my parents drove they followed and kept trying to block. Finally my parents found a policeman but the policeman refused to help saying that he was busy. Since my parents could not free themselves from these goons they finally had to pay the goons Rs2000 to get back home safely. Prior to this incident a few years ago a similar incident happened where an auto guy intentionally rammed into my father's car near Indiranagar. When we went to the police station the cops sided with the auto guy. The cops told my father that the auto guy is poor and therefore he should pay the auto guy. The passion with which the cop was sympathizing with the auto guy was nothing but an orchestrated play to extract money from my father and share the loot with the auto guy. Finally under police pressure my father had to pay the auto guy. The police is inefficient and sometimes even an accomplice in the crime. Goons are well aware of this fact and therefore the rising trend.

10 years back i had a call to take where to buy home, being from IT background and north indian i took the smart decision to buy at Delhi. Reason is inspite of all the hype around security I found Kannadigas, Marathis and Tamils running a mini version of CCP like China with vast underreporting in practice. See why you hear so much crime being committed at Delhi is because if any is committed it gets quickly in the news there is no under reporting, because of this reason people are highly proactive so if someone starts doing this kind of road rage the first fist would come from the nearest pan shop guy to these hooligans because we have seen too much and there is 0 tolerance making it an aggressive yet safe place (New Delhi region not NCR excluding Faridabad, Gurgaon, Noida, Rohini, Ghaziabad and north/northwest parts). I hope hyderabad and pune remain safe because rest are all lost cause.

So had a similar incident 2 days back while coming back from a resort in kanakpura. They were in Skoda Rapid and just tried to kill us while we didn’t came out of the car they tried to break the glass and climbed on the bonet. I had to accelerate as they stopped the car 2 times. It was my family and a friend family in the car with 2 infants. We said sorry as that was only the way I thought would be good to stay away from them or to avoid the situation. We said we have kids in the car don’t do this but they just said we will kill you so come out of the car now. We aware shocked to see such level of evil. They were locals and what shocked me was they were not more than 25 years old. Traumatized, shocked. The sad thing is we didn’t had a dash-cam so couldn’t record it. We called the police and they said come to the nearest station. I mean then what these patrolling vehicle are for if we only have to go to a nearest station.

Around 2008, when I was as a Kid, I visited Bangalore for the first time in my life and there was this incident which I vividly remember till now. It happened in a signal somewhere in Bangalore. I was travelling in car with my family and was curiously looking outside the window. I noticed someone behind our car was being chased. It was one old man driving a WagonR who being chased by some college teen in a bike. Unfortunately, the signal turned red and the WagonR stopped in the signal next to our car. That college brat stopped in front of that old man’s wagonR and started abusing him and calling him outside for few minutes. The old man stayed inside without reacting. Then this teen finally decided to break the WagonR’s side mirror using his bike key, and left. Fast forward 15 years. I still come across these kinda posts regularly in Bangalore Reddit Forum.

This has happened to me twice! Incident 1: I was with four children and my wife. A guy on his bike came a dashed my stopped vehicle from behind. It was holi day and obviously had was full of color and started abusing and smashing my window, challenging me to get down. I knew that instance this is a case of extortion and he is just going to try to bully my to take money from me. So I told him come ahead we will talk. Children in my car had already started to cry looking at his behaviour. So i just drove off hoping to reach the closest police station. This goon kept chasing me and i kept moving closer to the police station until finally he blocked my at an intersection. He was soo voilent that the car system finally gave up and unlocked the door by itself. I told me wife to get in the driving seat and go to police station which was less than 50 m away by this time. It was time for me to confront him and he got a head butt from me and he went down on the road. He got a beating from me as he might have unestimated my physical built while i was sitting in the car. Fortunately he dint have any weapon. Cops came and they too figured he was a total scam. He got more beating from the cops. End of day no lives were lost and my kids think I am a hero. The reality is i have never hit any one and i was tested that day. I hope it never happens again! Incident 2: I was out with a friend to look out for some farm lands outside of city. When a gang of 5 bikes with maybe 13 kids tried to blocked our way for no reason. Couple of the boys came up to my car and he was like why are you waving at us. While i was actually having my hand out of the car and enjoying the drive. He started to abuse me and said you will have to settle this and went to grab the car keys. The car was still on so it the keys dint come off. I floored the pedal to the metal while this guy was trying to stop the car with this hands. STUPID guys were trying to hold 150 horsepowers with their hands 😆 The gang leader fell down and the remaining jr gangster went to help him recover from his fall. I saw them in rear view mirror they were trying to follow me but i guess i lost them on the empty roads. I had to drive really fast ! Scary shit happening out on indian roads! SOS

One of my acquaintances employed at the Yelhanka RTO office has revealed a deeply troubling situation. Allegedly, there is an web of corruption involving local law enforcement, with ill-gotten gains being split evenly between the police and criminals. Shockingly, it appears that some arrests and lockups are merely theatrics, as the perpetrators are released the very next day once the police have secured their share of the spoils. It's a grim state of affairs in Bangalore, and the city's livability is progressively deteriorating, reminiscent of the challenges faced by cities in Nigeria or Syria.

this is happening with everyone in bengaluru, be it non kannadiga or kannadiga. I was attached thrice, once I was on my way to office and at a signal a scooty guy rammed into my bike when i got angry he started threating me that he is local and I am from UP (my bike has a UP registration), after that I told him that we are all Indians and you should not speak like this to which he said " we are kannadigas, you cannot come here an threaten us like this". After a few days at the same stop late at night I met three guys thoroughly drunk. They saw my bike's registration and began harassing me. Another incident happened at the Shell petrol pump in Kormangala first block. I parked my bike and there was a guy infront of me with his friends, my bike's headlamp struck in his eyes and he got very furious, he started arguing with me and starting blocking me way, eventually his friends decided not to intervene while he was asking them to support him as " he is alone, lets thrash him, he cannot do this with us". But I guess his friends were more sensible than him. Police also takes their side, I met with a minor accident with a autorikshaw driver and eventually when police came he started telling me to pay the driver for his losses. Bengaluru has a sad state of racism as well against non kannadigas, obviously not all locals but many are biased and racists towards you. Thankfully I have friends who are much much sensible and good kannadigas who help me in these situations. I, however, left the city, now I am in Gurugram, among my own people and my own culture. I have decided not to return to Bangalore anytime soon.

I was in Bengaluru during my internship in Jan 2020. Me & my friend we had habit of walking after dinner. One day during the same, a drunk person on bike hit my friend from behind. He fell down with his bike. Luckily his speed was slow so nothing happened to my friend. When he got up he started apologising and my friend said "don't worry. Nothing happened" and he continued apologising. My friend tried to console him and told "Are aap pareshan mat hoiye". At that moment, he understood that we are not localites. Then, he started harassing us asking us money and hold the collar of my friend. I tried to intervene but he didn't listen. Some people were passing by. He knew then and they all started talking within themselves. Finally, one of them took our cell number and told that they'll call in morning to settle the matter. We agreed and we moved on. After few minutes, we again saw him shouting probably calling us back. We ran away and were scared so much. Now a days, seeing all this again, I am reminded that I will never return to Bengaluru. I don't claim about contributing to economy and all but safe environment is the least each city should ensure for everyone irrespective of who they are, from where they are, contribution they are doing etc.

This is quite common. I have faced similar instance twice in Bengaluru without any provocation. I have earlier worked in Mumbai and Delhi-NCR for almost a decade in total and never had a single incident. I really wonder how people always say that Delhi is very unsafe and Bangalore is safe but in reality it is actually the opposite. At least there's no systematic biasness in the system in Delhi, but here once they know that you are an outsider, everyone will support the local guy. The same mentality is reflected in the comments here as well, where local people are justifying the acts of these two guys by putting onus on the outsiders that they have provoked them by doing something. For me the first time, it was a rainy season and there was some water lying in a pothole on the road ahead which obviously no one knows in advance and suddenly a guy came from the adjoining road and some dirty water got splashed on him. I continued driving for a second and when I saw the rear view mirror, I realised my mistake and slowed down my car to wait for the guy so that I could say sorry. When he reached near my car, I rolled down my window and said sorry brother and the moment he realised that I'm an outsider his expressions got changed and he got really furious. He immediately stopped his bike in front of my car so that I couldn't go ahead and started violently hitting my window first with his hands and then with his helmet. He insisted that I come out and I can see in his eyes that if I got out then it would be the biggest mistake of my life, so I kept saying sorry to him and he kept hitting my window with his helmet to break the glass. Realising the gravity of the situation, I reversed my car a bit and left the place but to my horror, this guy chased me for almost 10-15 km in broad daylight on ORR and kept hitting my car with his helmet and his one leg while we were both driving. To my bad luck, you can't run away on ORR, so after every now then there was a pile of traffic and he kept trying to open my door/hit windows. I was shit scarred and didn't know what to do. I was frantically looking for a police station, police patrol car or a cop on the road but couldn't spot any. Then I called on 100 and he seeing me calling someone he just disappeared in the traffic but those 15km were the worst time of my life in entire 15 years of my driving. This time I realised that in Delhi -NCR which is very notorious for crime and also in Mumbai, you can always find a Police Patrol Car at every 1-2 km or major intersections which is not the situation here. The second incident was with an Auto guy, which I feel after other instances and others' experiences, always try to pickup fight with the outsider without any provocation. There's a significant rise in such cases in the last few months and this is not good for anyone whether one is an outsider or a local.

[@pranav9237]

I had a similar incident involving some drunk people, who came and hit the rear side of my car, all this in daylight and in front of Bannerghatta police station. My wife was traumatized by this as she was also travelling with me at that time. They were confident when they noticed that we had a non Karnataka registration car. I know a lot of good kannadigas but trust me you are on your own when something happens, no one not even police did anything apart from watching what was happening. So try maximum to avoid these situations, but if you get into one; fight or flight. Don't expect civilised talks. Those drunkards look young, below 30. These kinds of people will damage the good reputation kannadiga's had.

Posters of these kinds of goons should be put up on every signal so people can be aware and these peopl can be shamed. A friend of mine had a broken jaw for no reason of his. Two goons suddenly stopped him and started punching him. He fell unconscious and was rushed to the hospital. It took him 6 months to recover😢. I hope these a$$#0/€$ get the worst karma possible

It's been happening in Bangalore for many years as I a resident of Bangalore since my childhood, but police don't even listen to us or reach us in emergency, you can only go to police after everything happened. That not the case in metro city Chennai, we can travel through out night and see 🚨 petrol for every two kms. In daylight also public Bangalore never come for help. You can't do this in TN, even an auto drive will not spare such people

Same thing happened to me back in 2018 when I used to live in Borewell Road, Nellurhalli (whitefield). Three people came on two bikes and attacked us for no reason. They hurled abuses and tried to hit us on road. They even slapped my friend when he asked him about the matter.

To all outsiders a small advice from this kannadiga. Donot venture out on bike in isolated areas and especially at night. Always book a cab or use car if you have one and windows should always be closed and dash cam is a must. These hooligans and extortionists have increased in number these days, they come in the opposite direction and ram their vehicle into your car and then threaten to smash your car if you dont step out. These kind of cases are very frequent these days. Chappri riders doing wheelie and beating those who try to stop them and oppose them,rowdies and goondas reckless riding not giving a damn about traffic rules, be careful folks Bangalore is becoming the new Delhi.

Due to similar incidents, I resigned from my job in Bengaluru and relocated to Mumbai. Harassment and abuse by local rowdies, auto drivers 🛺, and cab drivers, among others, were common occurrences. One of my friends, a manager, was subjected to severe abuse by a 21-year-old cab driver, to the extent that I cannot describe it here. The local administration also appeared to be under pressure from the auto and cab unions in the area. And my mobile was stolen by a group of thieves in the bus and Police didn't lodged my complaimt and harrassed me.

As a KL rider in banglore back in 2019 same kind of thing happened to me as well. One guy came suddenly out of no where after lalbagh signal with an old fz saying I had hit him and he fell down, broke his foot peg. Clearly it is visible no foot peg was scratched and I never hit him and there was no fall. Simply seeing my registration he is targeting me to extort money. I was really in a hurry to catch bus back to my hometown. Else I could've called cops or my native contacts. Ended up giving what ever I had as cash in my pocket to him I think 400 or something. Else if a flew from there he can easily follow and knew my route as well. So my advice is don't stop. Call cops or use pepper spray
