Bengaluru is Not Safe sometimes :(

I had a terrible experience last week Friday and want everyone in Bengaluru to be safe. I was assaulted.

Incident 1:

I went to drop a colleague after an office event and was returning away to my place. It was around 1-1:30 am. It was a single road and i was ascending an up and i saw a tempo-traveler coming the same way not stopping. The tempo didn't stop and immediately i took the reverse gair and started coming back and i heard a sound that tempo hit my car. I stopped and rolled down my window to see i there was a damage, as i couldn't see i got out of the car and asked the tempo driver if it hit my car (in my local language - telugu) i saw him coming down with unusual body language (could see he was drunk) and i said "nothing" (again in my local language) and got into the car. A second man got down and the tempo started hitting me through the window, followed by the first man punching me in the nose, breaking it. They banged on the car like anything and broke the right mirror. i bled and I got half conscious. Two more men from tempo joined in, assaulting me. I managed to roll up my window and drive home, bleeding and half-conscious. With blood all over my clothes, car and accessories i couldn't sleep as i could breathe with a broken nose.

Incident 2:

The same morning, to report the incident, I returned to the spot with my brother to identify the tempo. A local man offered help, suggesting my brother take photos of the tempos for identification. Suddenly, two women started abusing us, and a man attacked my brother, accusing him of taking pictures. The man threatened us against involving the police threatening he would see the end of us.

I've lived in Bengaluru for 5 years and have seen many such instances recently. Recently, the crime rate has increased significantly. Please be safe and careful while driving at night. This can happen to anyone

PS: This is something I found on LinkedIn today.

Bangalore turned into a shithole since COVID. I've been to all the cities of India, but the amount of slimy scamming, robberies, assaults and crimes that takes place would put any state to shame. I've had my phone stolen on knifepoint and police refused to register my fir even when I gave the details to them.

Most pathetic city, with the most corrupt police in India. No exceptions. The people who suck up and defend it are the biggest part of the problem, and are criminals themselves, in one way or other.

Once you got away you should have taken a U turn and run over the Auto and everyone in it.
If you hit an auto at 50 they're gonna roll twice over while only your bonet takes damage on a head on collision. For bonus damage use a car made by tata.
