There is widespread outrage and fear among the public regarding women's safety in Bengaluru following the recent gang rape and robbery incident. Many comments reflect a strong desire for immediate justice, severe punishment for perpetrators, and significant systemic changes to prevent future violence against women. There is a notable feeling of helplessness and disillusionment with the current justice system, with extreme measures often suggested as potential solutions.

Government of India

Local law enforcement

Judicial system

Society at large

Moving to a 1bhk in few weeks and this scared the shit out of me. Are women even safe anywhere?

Wonder what's gone into people and the justice system in this country...
I am struck with fear rage and helplessness at the same time, we need some changes in this country! Damn it.  I dunno how to sleep now

Weak laws, corrupt system, corrupt public and good youth not taking interest in politics, as long as this is not changing nothing is gonna change.

We need capital punishment for crimes like these. Rape and physical violence has become an epidemic in India. Is this what we want our future to look like?

Why are these incidents still hapenning? When will men realize to fear the consequences of these horrible actions?

Lets get some history lessons. Skip to 3rd para if not interested in decades old history. I and my family have had some or the other interaction with many of the rowdies over the years, so this is a little personal to me.

Agni Shreedhar has written many articles and a very gripping novel "Dadagiriya dinagalu" or "My Days in the Underworld: Rise of the Bangalore Mafia". He himself was a rowdy and responsible for a very high profile rowdy murder.

Very old timers were Kotwal Ramachandra, MP Jayaraj and Muthappa Rai. Congress CM Devaraj Urs  first gave political patronage to rowdies in Bangalore by supporting MP Jayaraj, to subdue the worker unions (my father and his friends had a personal tiff with him for many years as they were part of worker union in a factory)... His arch enemy was Ramchandra(real self made rowdy) who was killed by Agni Shreedhar and his friends. Then came Mutappa Rai a don from Mangalore who was connected to Dubai and had access to guns.. first big time "assassination" took place in Bangalore when Congress Rowdy Jayraj was gunned down near lalbagh gate by Mutappa Rai. Mutappa Rai died peacefully a few years ago.... That brings to an end to old timers. These guys had many followers who later became dons and some new blood came in too.

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Goripalya seems to pop up quite frequently here, the original name of the place was Padrayanapura the temple is still there. There is a Muslim burial ground there hence the name "Gori"palya came into being. There were 2 Muslim dons here, Altaf and Arif Pasha. One of them had links to outside India gang apparantly. Both the rowdies were patronised by Congress and JDS, when Somanna was in JDS(now in BJP) an election rally was going on and Altaf was on stage with him, some from Arif Pasha gang rushed on stage to kill him, one of his brothers (he has like 10 brothers or something) came in between and got killed. Arif was corporator of Goripalya, his son Imran has taken over now.

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;SriRampura and surrounding areas, some of the 80's and 90's dons were from here, the film "Om" had lots of dons from this area. Bekkina Kannu (cat eyes) Rajendra was from here, quite notorious in his time ... He was killed by "Silent" Sunil, who is still active and a movie was made on him by Agni Shreedhar.
SriRampura Kitty was another famous don from here, he ruled during 90s but ended up being killed by some small time kid rowdies when he was quite old, those kids set a trap for him and killed him making name for themselves.

Both these guys came from old school dons "akhada". 

One place that many here don't know is Prashant Nagar and Marenahalli, some of the bloodiest murders took place surrounding this area. The rivalry here was between Thammaiah and Govinda... Together they gave rise to 100s of small time rowdies, these 2 were either relatives or neighbours who had some property dispute, Govinda went with Jedarahalli Krishnappa (one more notorious rowdy of 90s) Thammaiah built his own gang, any boy in and around those areas belonged to one of the gangs, my college friends were part of Thammaiah gang, he had one henchman called Marenahalli Jagga guy was built like a rock, he was famous for having beaten a rowdy from Govindas gang called Narashimma, when they fought Narashimma was in in 20s and a well established rowdy aheeter Jagga was 15 years old. Govinda finally got Thammaiah killed in Atiguppe bus stop when he was going around distributing his marriage invitation card along with his would-be wife. That was followed by a spate of murders around the entire area, my cousins was in that area and I had witnessed couple of these gang wars when I was kid. Depanjali nagar railway tracks was one of the places where the bodies were thrown.

I will keep adding others slowly, but how all this ended? Software industry and Devegowda were the reason this ended. Devegowda bought in Hoysala patrol Jeeps, these were quick response teams, there were many "strong" police officer's who were given a free hand, he stationed police at depanjali nagar railway tracks and other places to make sure that bodies were not thrown there. The IT and call centre boom took in many youngsters who would have otherwise ended up in streets, one of my friends who was picked up by police when he was 15 years old for beating up a shopkeeper to within an inch of death and was sure shot future rowdy sheeter got job as an Airtel executive and was later taken by Shoppers stop as security, his job was to beat up people who tried to steal clothes, my point is these guys got jobs and are now in their late 30s or early 40s so not likely going back to being rowdies.

Nagawara and Shivajinagar. Have lived around these areas and they are shady af. Been an eyewitness to many crimes happened in Nagawara that too during daylight(and some at night). Wouldn't recommend anyone.

InnerMathematician31

Weaver's colony in gottigere and kolifarm gate. Never ever take the road alone especially at night towards jigani, once u cross nice road its dangerous territory. 

I too casually went there exploring on my cycle and later security gaurd asked me where i went i told him the areas he screwed me on the spot telling many murders happend there and told me to never ever go again.

Interesting Murphy town et all did not show up. Some boys with blade wait to mug people at night I’ve heard - pretty sketchy area

Nutty-plant-dad

KR Market. It's not safe to go there in broad daylight, forget late at night. Went there in a skirt, big mistake. I felt super uncomfortable the minute I started walking towards Bangalore fort. The trans-women there harassed my friend and I into giving them so much cash. The auto guys weren't great either. 

Turahalli forest too, don't go there post 10. Murders have happened there and leopards have been spotted there, too. Basically chikkegowdanpalya after 10pm is a scary place to be at.

Ejipura. Witnessed a stabbing in front of my eyes there last November.

Any place dark and isolated and late in the night or early morning.

nikhilck2001

Goripalya, haven’t experienced anything untoward other than a few ruffians trying to pick a fight. 

It’s a ghetto and people gang up and fleece you and might even beat you up if you pick some fights or have a minor accident involving one of them.

There is a cemetery where spooky lookin mfs hangout.

Till recently, it was an adda for Ganja and a lot of shady mfs used to frequent the area at all times.

1.Chamrajpet- I’ve heard too many stories thag it’s a very dangerous place 

2.Majestic - the above opinion goes for this as well , extremely unsafe for women as well 

3.Shivajinagar - I’ve heard post 10:30pm do not go there since it has a lot of rowdies 

4.Bismillah colony - the one place while going to taverekere, very violent bunch of people and proper goons who tries to pick a fight with you for entertainment (personal experience)

velvet-lightning5

Tannery Road and KG Halli are in a league of its own. I am quite sure that most people haven’t been to this part of the town even after spending decades in Bangalore.

I can say many but as this happened recently, kamakshipalya. Went to watch a movie at victory theatre over there with the boys. We parked our vehicles outside the theatre at the side of a perpendicular road to the main road. When we got out we had a huge fight with the area boys cuz we parked at "their parking spot". It was just a verbal fight lmao and then the matter got settled when the area boys said "sari bidi bro namde tappu" when my bro said "guru just 3 hr movie nodak bandhiroodu aste yake jagala just 3 hrs nimma spot bedok aagalva?"

DaRk_aXg3L

Avoid going to muslim areas especially at night cause first of they are conjusted , underdeveloped and many mugging and stabbing happens there. Since i live in North Bangalore now i can tell from experience because i lived in such area before.

No_Explanation_5810

In any place where local population is old telugu people ( settled since ages)or lot of muslims, those surely areas of rowdyism. Goripalya, okalipuram(sri ram puram). Banaswadi inner areas, inner majestic, cottonpet,tippasandra, mysore road areas like nayandahalli,laggare. Even in chennai, north chennai is supposed to be notoriuos.And areas going from north chennai towards andhra border is all notorious.  All these places is full of telugus settled since ages. They always create friction among various communities so that they can rule the area and they can remain peaceful. It is their tactics everywhere. Be it karnataka or tamilnadu

I live in Chikkalsandra. A rowdy sheeter lived opposite to my apartment building. He kept to himself, and the rest of the street don't really care all that much. 

There was also a bar nearby, and people would fight every now and then. 


But, I can freely walk back home at 3 AM without much fear around my home because it's not that dangerous in actuality!
Additionally, there's constant patrolling. I'd suggest not to take the history of the locale too seriously!

I've been living here for 25 years, and more people have come to help or converse than to exploit or harm me. 
People are not black and white no matter how convenient it may be for us to classify! This applies to rowdies as well!

Bengaluru's mafia is in real-estate and sex or drugs. It is slick and very sophisticated.. no such corners of criminality as such but in general, K R Puram, Majestic, Kalasipalyam (even posh south Indiranagar) give bad vibes..

Stay away from the usual wrong things and you will be safe. Earlier the cops used to be real trouble but these days they use dash-cams and track you without any confrontation.

On the other hand, what is a good life worth without some TROUBLE..??!!!

zafarsatyavan

Areas around Lalbagh. Never go into the interiors. I have been caught in fights twice there while returning from work in two very different areas by tamilian gangs.

The stretch between JC road and Double Road where you'll find a lot of truck engines and axles getting dismantled gave me the creeps one day when I saw them hanging a doll of George Bush from a tree and men shouting slogans around it. This was around the time Saddam Hussein was captured/killed.

It's not about what and where, the question should be when.

Halasuru, almost got mugged and saw people fighting with swords. 

Almost every place in bangalore after 11pm.

Do not walk into any place where off campus drive is going on. Its depressing to the core

I stay in Sarjapura road area and yes, it’s kinda unruly these days. Though nothing significant happened recently but high probability.

How is Bellandur area near Centro mall? 🥺

Momo_licious

From Majestic bus stand to railway station underpass, Don't ask price in footpath shops and move on, they will beat you and make you buy something you don't want at a higher price. All are goons with political contacts. No matter which party comes to power, they couldn't remove these vendors from the underpass.

Most of the places in Bangalore are covered here. Looks like everyone who's living in a certain area (except the super posh one's), feel that they aren't safe. Looking at all those news about murders and videos of goons attacking public who drive a car, it's kinda scary to go out late night! What's happening to this rather peaceful city! :(

r2d2anon

No offence but in general (atleast back in the days) the Tamil area and Muslim area were dangerous.

Beginning_Letter9343

Under the Mysore Road flyover towards BHEL circle, there were some shady AF areas where I would buy bootleg liquor and weed back in college days circa 2004. Used to be my late night hangout too as I would eat at a small Taj cafe/biryani hotel under the flyover. This area is close to the Muslim graveyard and is close to Goripalya area. I, in fact explored that whole stretch till BHEL circle with Guddanhalli, Nayandahalli. Many weed dealers there back in the day, would swoop in swoop out. I made friends with the owner of that Taj biryani shop, who was something of the area’s made man. This man was in his 80s and he knew everybody. Chacha, as they would call him, would say ‘idhar police bhi nahi aata, aaya toh mera biryani khaane ku aata’. He always said we kids stick out like sore thumbs in this area and there is no reason to be here. He knew what we were up to. Have seen hookers, pimps, dance bar girls by Sumo-load, drunk rowdies, addicts, passed out drunks in the lanes filled with piss and shit interlaced with rotten flowers plus customary cows under/abutting the flyover. As I was (part of) the wrong crowd, we basically recceed the whole area for supply. Some friends were into more hardcore substances for which they always, always went to some super shady areas near Shivajinagar. They got mugged, beaten up, bike-jacked in a single evening of scoring misadventure. Apparently drug addicts are the easiest prey. The biggest joke was that I lived alone right in front of a tribal graveyard by the rail tracks after RVCE bus stop/rail crossing, that connected to the back roads of Kengeri. Was drunk and stoned most of the time to realize what a shady area I used to live in. Have had drunks/addicts/god knows who knock and hurl abuses at the door at 2-3 AM. A super shady projects kind of high density dwelling called Shirke Homes or something on the connecting back road of Kengeri to Nagarbhavi had probably the highest density of smack opiate / drug users in any part of the city. The most haunted, scary AF stretch of Mysore Road back then was in between Bangalore University and RVCE bus stops. Muggings, rapes, murders had all been reported in that area. I have personally seen a roadkill dead human body on that stretch for which we called in the cops too. Also, not to forget what was called Sun City at the far end of Kengeri before it was all built up. Had some spooky ass, trippy ass places to get stoned. Got busted by cops too. All this was almost two decades back. Bangalore was grittier then, these days it is like any other big city.

TC Palya. The night citish town of bangalore. Filled with the downtrodden and the damned. Terrible place. It’s like Mexico to the US. Do not go here without protection and a priest.

Icy-Fig4010

Most poorly lit places in Bangalore are risky places. Especially the ones where there is a slum near.. Condemn me for being politically incorrect but the fact is people who have nothing to lose or lack proper guidance indulge in crimes like muggings, stabbings and they are plenty in Indian slums.Its a social problem and i don't blame them alone. People mentioned Banaswadi railway station but if you go around the area you will find slum with very less development

One of my friends is a bihari studying in bhubaneswar. I almost got a heart attack from this. Then I remembered that she is 19 years old now.

In our country, the situation is beyond absurd.

Criminals run rampant, showing complete contempt for the police and the justice system. On the contrary, the police and the justice system are often in favor of the criminals.

The honest citizens—the taxpayers—are the ones who get exploited by law enforcement, and when something unfortunate happens to them, they don’t even receive a hint of justice.

In this country, law enforcement and justice are completely upside down.

the_sane_philosopher

Hang them all. How long is our government gonna tolerate this. Give death for rapes.

Glad_Diamond_2103

These kinds of incidents are occurring a lot these days or reported more these days. The government and justice system must take a stand to prevent these types of crimes. I personally believe that rehabilitation of animals that are doing such things is not going to happen and they need to be behind bars for the rest of their lives. When rapists and murderers show no remorse or regret even if they are convicted what is the purpose of our system or conviction if any. Will harsher punishments reduce such incidents or will it have no effect. Idk the solution for this.

Eagle__Gunner

Too many rape cases are being reported from MP for last few months. Looks like criminals don’t fear MP Police at all.

Seems like these eight are now eligible for a political party now.

I'll try to guess at the punishments. 
If criminals are high caste hindu , reduced sentences, Garland, and procession on release and seat in BJP(Future). 
If criminals are low caste , punishment for life 
If criminals are Muslim - Bulldozer destroys their houses and shops, and relatives are also arrested. 
If criminals are rich/influential - will be let free with a fine and stern warning 
Whatever happens, the girl who went through this, has to go all her life with this trauma, and there won't even be any support from society.

HorrorRequirement568

When rapist are welcomed with garlands this is to be expected !!

nisal1605

I never understand why we don’t have death sentences for rape.. I mean okay robbery can happen due to poverty or murder can happen due to long term enimity. But rape? Rape is a 100% crime..we should have only death sentences for rape

Morality, ethics, and civility should be incorporated into the educational curriculum. Teaching children about this at a young age will at least shape some of them to become decent human beings in the future.

Someinterestingbs-td

Capital punishment should be given to all rapists. No lengthy court cases and all. Once proved, hang them, shoot them, whatever comes under capital punishment but do it.

Only then these animals will fear.
