Beware! A few fraud on Bangalore roads: 'Your car ran over my leg'

economictimes.indiatimes.com:

Bangalore roads. The fraudsters, who are on two-wheelers, accuse car drivers that the wheels of their cars have run over their foot and start demanding money. As soon as the tweet was shared, many other users also said they or their relatives had also fallen victim to such fraudsters.

The Bangalore police also asked @pranaykotas to share his phone number for further details. @pranaykotas in his tweet said that on Sunday (July 2), he was waiting for the traffic signal to turn green on the Queens Road signal. «One guy on an Activa stopped us aggressively and started accusing us that our car had gone over his leg.

I'm a cautious, slow driver, so I was surprised. Especially when we turned slowly after the vehicles ahead of us had moved. In any case, I apologised profusely, thinking that I might have made an inadvertent mistake,» he said.

Despite his apologies, the person on Activa, according to @pranaykotas, «got more aggressive and started shouting expletives. He clearly wanted me to get out of the car and confront him. But somehow, I maintained my calm and just went ahead.

After some distance, he took another route and let us go,» @pranaykotas said. When the same situation was repeated two days later, @pranaykotas realized that it was a fraud. «On July 4 (Tuesday) at around 5.30 pm, the same thing happened to me, this time on Wheeler Road near Thom's Bakery.

And guess what. It was the SAME guy again. What are the odds! He swerved ahead of my car.

And he let another accomplice of his, on another two-wheeler, try the same trick. The guy started banging the car windows and made the same accusation. Now I was sure that this was a fraud.
