Discrimination in Traffic challans in Bangalore

A friend got caught for a drunk and drive situation few days ago in Bangalore around Bellandur area. The officer there sensed that he wasn't a Kannadiga and refused to encourage any off table affairs and registered the case against him and vehicle was seized.

Around the same time, I also got caught but spoke in Kannada with the police officer. I could manage to get out of the situation without any legal troubles.

I accompanied my friend to the T. P. Station to get the vehicle back. Strangely almost everyone whose vehicles were impounded, were Wait for it Not Kannadigas.

I felt strange and checking if anyone else got in similar situations and knowing and not knowing kannada had different outcomes.

One day this will backfire to everyone. This hate-red towards Hindi speakers will cause issue for sure.

Oh I'm not sure why you're surprised! This is not only common here but unfortunately prevalent across the country. Goes to show how people are shitty in general.

The times I've been stopped in Delhi. Crazy. The moment they get to know you can't understand their accent or you're struggling in the fluency in your replies, you're screwed!

Nothing new, happens very often. Even on traffic check points cops will look for outstation registered vehicles to harass specifically.

My friend from Kolkata experienced this firsthand, so have I.
