Can't this happen in Bangalore?

Oh please, the municipal commissioners will never reach the court in peak traffic

Karnataka Police won't register FIR against BBMP, BESCOM, BWSSB ... (read, government entities). Even when the FIR is registered (say someone died due to a pothole/crater) the police will conclude it was the victim's fault. That's their SOP.

Frankly, that shouldn't happen unless some files a case.

Only if Milord trips in such pothole. This “milord” culture has ruined the judiciary. In fact, insiders also feel so.

Similar has happened in Bangalore earlier
