Bangalore governance law and order Marathahalli Complaint
Today evening while returning from Marathalli, while I was driving along with my friend, a guy on Yamaha takes a left cut in front of me. It was such an extreme cut, I somehow saved the guy and in return screamed and asked to drive properly. The guy and pillion riders stare at me, but I continued on my way.
After a while, they overtake me and ask to stop. I stopped and they started screaming. I started explaining that what he had done was wrong. In no mood to listen, they both start landing blows on me. And they thunder," you come to our area and scream at us, how dare you?". They beat me black and blue and you know what all the people in crowd around were saying, "Yeh , they speak hindi. They cant scream at them. and all started murmuring against us"
Seeing the crowd support for them, I continually said "Sorry" while both were landing blows on me and my friend as well. No one from the crowd even mediated. Some how when they saw blood on my face, they left after hitting me badly in my stomach.
One amongst the crowd asks me to run away from there fast as the two had not left and had gone to get more of their friends. I did so.
Now I am scared to file a police complaint. What should I do??
Just a few questions which is troubling me:
Wasnt this racial?? Can we blame Australians for what they are doing to some foreigners ?? Am I a foreigner within my country ?? "Today I feel so".

I deliberately restrain myself to take any precaution when there is such a violation in front of me..just tap them with my car..and give them a cold shrug that I couldnt help it!
Again its just a tap is needed and not a shove, which could lead to fractures..it gets complicated then!
Also I can afford to do that cos my car is an old one..cant try this with new vehicles though!

...if you are speak Kannada or not (though that might be a good excuse for the to start a fight). Such thugs have mis-treated me a few times even though I'm a Kannadiga.
I'd say go file a complaint, especially if you have the license plate number. But you can never say for sure how connected these thugs are, so stay alert.

Don't scream at or give advice to anyone on the road. People are in no mood to listen. People who ride like that are likely to come under someone's wheels one day. Just try and make sure it isn't yours.

You are painting all locals with the same brush. I don't want to start a mud slinging match but it is enough to say there are bad apples everywhere.
