[Resolved]  Bangalore Police — Beware of Bangalore Police near Bannerghatta Road

Address:

Bangalore, Karnataka

Hi, By this message, I just wanted to bring in every body's attention that please be very 'CAREFUL' of Bangalore Police, especially those in 'Cheetah' bikes in and around Bannerghata road. My female friend and I work for an organization on Bannerghatta Road and the job requires us to be in 'Night Shift'. During the course of our work one day, my friend and I went to an ATM, just outside the office premises, when two cops saw us and stopped their bike. They asked as in Kannada, what we were doing at this odd hours and we conveyed, we had just to take some money from the ATM. One of the police cops, a fat one, started screaming and said something in Kannada, which I understood as 'creating public nuisance'. He even asked me to take of my pants because he was implying my female friend and I were up to 'something'. After a lot of pleading, he let my female friend go and I had to bribe him Rs. 100 to let me go! I deciphered two things from this episode - 1. If your an 'outsider' in Bangalore and cant speak Kannada, the Bangalore Police will 'rip' you off! Please be careful if you are n outsider in Bangalore! The Bangalore Police mostly targets 'Outsiders'. 2. And in a scenario, I was up to some 'Anti - National' Activities, I can pay a bribe as low as Rs 100 to get away scot free! They will stoop to such a low level, they will sell 'anything' to make some quick bucks! The Main Question is - If I am not save in my own country? Where will I be?
