Bengaluru police to crack down on extortion in garb of road rage

The Hindu  

Taking a serious note of the recent spate of incidents where miscreants deliberately take up quarrels with motorists in an attempt to extort money, the city police have now started opening rowdy-sheets against such miscreants. “There seems to be a new modus operandi where miscreants are harassing motorists by staging accident-like situations and trying to extort money in the garb of road rage. However, many victims started posting dashcam videos of these incidents on social media tagging the city police and seeking action, leading to cases and arrests, a senior police officer said. The recent spate of such incidents and dashcam videos being posted on social media, had raised safety concerns and had prompted residents welfare associations to issue advisories to their members to install dashcams in their cars, install Suraksha app, not to venture out of the vehicles in case of any eventualities and dial 112 for emergency response help.
