Hello all,
I would Just like to warn You about the Increasing Number Of Street-Thefts In Bangalore. Especially in BTM
area.
I was walking back Home yesterday after my dinner in a Hotel Near Maruthi Nagar.
At around 10:45 PM. When I Entered 17th main from Madivala side I saw some Hustle and Bustle at the Far end of the Road.
I thought it was some drunkards. After a while two men on different Bikes Approached me and started whirling around me( All Number Plates Covered).
The moment they neared me It struck me that it was going to be a tough Night Ahead.
They rashly parked their Vehicles near me and Got off it Quickly. They Held my collar and started beating me.
They Demanded my wallet which I refused. They Hit my Knee with a stick and hit me on my face also.
They took my Money Out of my Purse(around 600 Bucks). They also took my MP3 Player away.
I started screaming. Then one of them took his knife out. He said something in Kannada which I guess is to "shut up or else I would Plunge this Knife in".
One More Scream would have Perhaps got that knife pierced into my stomach.
I coundn
recognize their faces since they were wearing Helmets. Actually they were Looting a handicapped guy at the other end when I first saw them at the far end.
His Mobile and wallet was looted.
He was Hit Very Badly and Hurt. When they Robbed Me I couldn't resist since two against one is always a tough Game.
People(employees of A2B restaurant) were running towards me to save me from the robbery. But By that time they had Left on their Bikes.
I was left Helpless. I cant recognize them anymore. I cant recognize those bikes any more. Since number plates were covered.
What has
happened has a happened.
People please take care when u travel alone in Night.
Bangalore is no more a safe place for Night Commuting.
When I write this I know I cant do anything about it now.
But at least I could keep U guys at alert.
By Gods Grace its Just a swelling on my Knee remaining. Thank God they didn't stab me.
People Be Alert. Where ever U are….!!!!
Please Take Care of Yourself.
