14 Hours of Terror: Mobile Snatchers Rampage in Delhi, Stab 2- Grapevine

Why does delhi seem extremely unsafe , every step i take i feel someone is going to pickpocket , snatch my phone or something else

Safety issues in delhi

Software Engineer

Came to Bangalore to join an in-office role, the org and role is good. 

But coming from Gurgaon, I was not able to like the city. 

Some cons: 

- Extremely poor infrastructure like a tier 2 city 
- Every govt official is corrupt, police can harass you anywhere 
- You neither feel homely nor is there any vibe of a cosmopolitan city. Local politics will not let this city become a cosmopolitan startup hub. Gurgaon is so so much better. 

- Everyone just wants to loot money, everything is expensive. Rent is high, landlord deducting 1 month extra rent, unnecessarily high security amount, cook and maid everything is so effin’ expensive 

- Alcohol is expensive. 

- Good food is expensive 

The value of money is lesser here as compared to the rest of the country. 

I have a flight tonight and I am so happy that it’s a one way flight. 

I don’t mean to offend anyone, but bangalore can be very lonely and it has been so for many of my friends. 

Particularly ease of life is much higher in NCR and that’s why a lot of people move back. Those who feel otherwise haven’t lived in NCR so Bangalore is more of just a bubble for them. 

Adios!

The recent presence of armed gangs attempting to break into villas and apartments in two gated communities in Sarjapur has caused widespread panic in the area. CCTV footage captured a five-member gang, armed with lethal weapons, loitering inside the Metropolis Fair Oaks gated community in Sarjapur. However, the president and the vice-president of the Metropolis Fair Oaks union declined to comment when approached by DH reporters, fearing potential backlash for speaking their minds.

Panic as armed gangs strike gated communities in Bengaluru's Sarjapur

Wtf. About 2 months ago, something very similar happened in my gated society (Koramangala)

Corporate Strategist

He was clubbing and it was a crowded one. He bumped into a girl, and apologized. Her boyfriend saw this and got aggravated. 
My friend says he just said it's not an issue, just an honest mistake. 

The guy proceeded to show his gun kept in his jeans pocket. And asked him to meet outside.
My friend handled the situation, apologized, left. 

But this thing has scared me. What is wrong with Gurgaon.

Another shocking incident

Tech Lead

So at the night of 16th Feb there was theft at my rented house in Koramangla 1st Block, when I was at my hometown, thieves took whatever gold & silver was there at home about 1 lakh value. It’s a stand alone house where the owners stay above. Since they are locals they informed the police the very same morning and there were teams of police on the same day. They took all the CCTV footage and a dog squad, finger print team was at the location while day. I thought they have taken the matter seriously and they would find the thieves quickly. But it’s almost a month now and even I tried visiting the Koramangla police station after I was back, but they told the police officer is not present and next time call and come. I don’t see any progress in the case and I think these folks won’t do anything unless there is something for them to gain. 
Has anyone else experienced this? And what should one do in such a situation?

Theft at Koramangla!

Computer Operator

So I walk back from work everyday. I work at Razorpay so I live nearby and save on commute costs by walking. 

Near Forum Mall, I have noticed that often times there are members of the trans community who force you to pay money to them. Even if you try to ignore them they will grope your private parts and sexually harass you by calling you names. I do not usually carry cash, so they asked me to pay Rs. 500.

I ddenied and after negotiating sent them Rs. 120 via GPay.  I do not want to pay, is it like some unofficial toll tax?

One time, I even saw them chasing someone who was trying to run away from them. They literally lifted their saree and exposed themselves to the entire mall while running.

I am generally very respectful to them and have worked for NGO Projects for their community. But I feel that recently this has become a major problem within the city.  I have noticed them harassing people everywhere now. From Red Lights to outside Malls.

I have complained to Forum Mall frontdesk but they refuse to do anything. 

Stay Safe people.

My Story: Bangalore's Trans asking me for money ⚧️

Operations Manager

I was in Mumbai this weekend and I was having street food in Ghatkopar. I heard someone whispering but ignored. When I turned around I saw three people, 2 guys and 1 girl. I continued enjoying my food when I saw that the girl behind me had left and dropped some money. I walked up to her and told her about it.

I bent down to pick it up when the other two guys bumped into me. I think they were cloning my card all this while, I will explain why I think that. I asked them if something was wrong and they said No and went away. 

I checked today morning and 16,731 were deducted at some weird merchant in USA. I was confused, so I instantly blocked all my cards. I have contacted the bank about this fraud as well. 

I am confused: I did not do any transaction on any website that looked shady nor did I give my details out to anyone. The only thing that explains this is that they cloned my credit card and this was their strategy. How to comfirm this? Please help.

Someone cloned my Credit Card near Ghatkopar🤬

People have this weird notion that Delhi/Gurgaon isn't safe and that the folks here are as warm as an ice cube in Antarctica. Can you believe that? This narrative has been doing the rounds for so long that it's starting to affect the migration of people to this part of the world. But let me set the record straight.

Gurgaon is the real deal. It's the city with good infrastructure and a welcoming vibe for migrants. It's like the cool kid at the party, while Bangalore has a little something called the Bangalore police. Now, these folks, they've got a unique way of welcoming North Indians – by demanding money when they hear you speaking Hindi. Yes, you heard that right.

I've had not one but two laughable encounters with them. Picture this: I'm just out for a casual late-night walk at 11 PM (because who needs sleep, right?), and out pops Mr. Constable, asking for his "fee" and insisting it's against the law to stroll around at that hour. And guess what? I'm not the only one in this comedy club. Hundreds of people have taken to Twitter to share their own hilarious stories.

Now, let's switch gears and talk about Gurgaon. It's got the smooth roads, a fast track to the airport, and apartments where you don't need to sacrifice your life savings as a deposit. It's the practical choice for newcomers.

So, in a nutshell, let's keep challenging these stereotypes and celebrate the positives of each city. Gurgaon, you're the real MVP, and Bangalore, maybe it's time for you to rethink your police's comedy night. City rivalries – always good for a chuckle!

Great to see Delhi NCR people fighting the forced narratives of North vs South

Kaun se bubble me ho student? Golf course road pe rehte ho aur kaam karte ho / college jaate ho? 
  
 Reminds me of Vir Das. I live in 2 Gurgaons. One which has smooth roads, and other where people can’t even walk. 
  
 And yes - people here are arrogant, with zero civic sense - though that’s true for most cities in India, but def worse than Mumbai (stayed there for 10 years, hence can see the difference clearly). 
  
 Let’s not even talk about the air quality, extreme heat and cold (subjective, I know). 
 Traffic post pandemic is not smooth either. In fact people drive extremely bad, and carry a lot of ego while on the road. 
  
 Couple of good things: 
 1. Proximity to airport 
 2. Size of houses 
  
 PS : staying here for the past 4 years.

Never expected Bangalore to reach this level tbh, this is as bad if not worse than Delhi NCR

Given the recent incident in BLR, I think it has now become necessary to have a dashcam installed in car.

Which dashcam are you guys using? 

Have you experienced such incident personally?

Plz suggest a good Dashcam 😶

The Delhiite in me ensures I am always tracked

Woman Injured in Delhi Market Shootout

Traffic, Pollution, People, Lifestyle, Rent, etc. I would highly appreciate your views on this.

Is Gurgaon a good place to work?

What is wrong with people based on this news I saw
1. Why has any other girl not helped her 
2.Is the the psycho and out of mind to go and kill someone
3. Will the police arrest him soon and such is our justice system, it would take I don't know how long for proceedings.
4.landlord would ask for resume and linkedin before giving flats but safety is totally neglected.
