The police asked us who we were and why we were in Koramangala. We explained how we got into this situation and gave them a description of the assailants. They mentioned they would check the near park and patrol the area, but that’s about it.

Cases like these have happened to all my friends in Bangalore. One such auto driver threatened my colleague for not giving extra money.” “This sounds scary. Kudos to you, OP, for maintaining your calm. I had a similar experience today where a guy tried hitting me and then played the Kannada card in our verbal argument. I was scared, especially given that I didn’t know Kannada and left. I hope to learn basic Kannada and self-defence in the future,” commented a third.
