Crime in Bangalore, India

If Auto drivers beahaves rudely with people. Then how people will travel in autos.

Again they are doing strikes and protests on Bike rides.

First of all they should behave well with passengers.

They are literally harrasing beating and scolding the passengers and senselessly doing protesys.

Police should take immediate action against these Auto and Can drivers in Bangalore and should warn and punish them.

Other wise no one will use Autos.

We are ready to buy a own car or a travel on Bike instead of taking Autos in Bangalore.

If we leave these local Karnataka people like this. Soo they will ale this state as another Khalistan.

They have so much hatred and literally harrasing and beating the other state people.

Police should take severe action against these incidents and warn the people who does this.

Most of the Kerala peaceful community people from Kannur and Kozhikode are overspeeding their vehicles in the Mysuru-Bengaluru expressway and causing fatal accidents in the slow lane. These Kerala peaceful community people drive at speeds of 160kmph in the slow lanes of the Bengaluru-Mysuru expressway and cause fatal accidents. The "Bengaluru to Mysuru expressway" was created mostly to benefit Kerala and not Karnataka.

I found the CISF guards at the security checks to be the worst mannered in Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi and Lucknow airports. The CISF personnel are highly abusive, harassing and worst mannered for even the innocent civilian domestic passengers in airports throughout India. The CISF guards at Bangalore Kempegowda Airport are very rude, abusive and vulgar for law-abiding domestic passengers at security checks. I am scared to travel in Indian airports because of these worst CISF guards.

Bengaluru is indeed the worst place to stay in India. Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad, Pune, Delhi and Kolkata are also worst places that are filled with dangerous criminals. Most of the local Kannadiga people are Bengaluru are rogues, hooligans and fraudsters. Persecution is very high in Bengaluru. My wallet was stolen many times, I was slapped and harassed many times in Bengaluru by beggar gangsters. Most of the RSS and viciously dangerous Hindu terrorists are located at Bengaluru. All the security staff n Bengaluru airport are ruffians and hoodlums. Chor Bazaar (thieves market) at Bengaluru is funded and supported by the local Kannadiga people along with the Journalists, Kannada politicians, Bengaluru police and judges.
All the journalists in India are dangerous criminals. I hope and wish that all the journalists of India rot and burn forever in the eternal flames of Hell. All the Indian journalists of India deserve the punishment of eternal Hell.
I am very honest with my comments.

My house was intruded by a burgler 5 months ago, with intrusion at 4 th Floor at 4.00 am, early morning. Pl. double check your locks and access to your homes from all sides. Nothing is rosy about Bangalore. Crime is universal, in all villages, towns, cities, countries.

Bengaluru is worst place with plenty of crime. Pickpocketers, chain-snatchers, assaulters, thieves and molesters are found throughout Bengaluru.

In Bengaluru, my house was invaded by burglars multiple times. I also had searched Bengaluru's Chikpet Chor Bazaar but I could not retrieve back the items stolen from my house. I filed a complaint at the local police station, but they never catch these burglars and gangsters. These burglar hoodlums in Bengaluru are supported by the politicians, judiciary and the police department.

Bangalore is very unsafe especially for a foreigner. Most parts within the city are safe but the further you move away from the city the worse it gets. Do not use public transport besides Uber or Ola and if you do find trouble and is lucky enough to get assistance of the authorities don't try to settle it under the table.

The easiest way to judge an area in Bangalore is by it's cleanliness. If the road and sidewalk is clean it's probably safe.

Bangalore is a very good place, cosmopolitan city with good people and great weather. Bangalore has beautiful trees, parks, thousands of software companies, aeronautical, space research organizations and startups. I absolutely enjoyed my stay in Bangalore and Karnataka. I would love to come back to Karnataka again.

Though Bangalore has crime, I guess all big cities in the world also have crime and are polluted.
But even then I consider Bangalore as the best to live among the metropolitan cities of India. Bangalore is more livable, safer and much cleaner than Mumbai, Pune, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Shimla, Jaipur, Lucknow, Coimbatore and Delhi NCR. I have stayed in these places as well. The weather in Bangalore is an added advantage, but I give importance to other factors.
So Bangalore is comparatively a good place to live.

Having lived in Hong Kong and returned to India, some of the points surely worry me. Why are the Indian people enjoying the worst politicians, worst media and horrible comments written in Times of India, Twitter, Youtube, Quora, Facebook and all the news platforms in India? Are innocent people safe in India especially in its big cities? A true point is that crimes are extremely high in Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune, Chennai, Mumbai, Madhya Pradesh, Delhi NCR and the entire North India. Development and economy are of no use if the people haven't changed.

Bangalore is now the epicentre of Hindutva terror groups in Southern India. It is a real fact.
The Karnataka government, software entrepreneurs and managers in Bangalore all support the Hindutva terror groups. Millions of people in Bangalore virulently hate Muslims and Christians. The migration from Northern India and Central India has brought in these toxic ideologies to Bangalore. Once present, it will never go away.
Hindutva groups want to finish Islam and Christianity by 2021.

https://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-others/hindu-outfit-plans-to-finish-islam-christianity-by-2021/

The Karnataka government headquartered in Bangalore, software employees and PSU employees support these ideologies of ethnic cleansing and extermination of Muslims and Christians. Let's focus on the present. Bangalore is one of the worst places in the world to live for Muslims and Christians. Bangalore is only safe for cows and Hindutva terror groups only.
I am from Tilak Nagar area of Bangalore and I know this place very well. I am planning to permanently move out very soon.

In terms of religious freedom, India is far far better than Islamic countries. India for centuries, has always given shelter to persecuted communities from across the world. Hinduism believes that all religions lead to God. Live and let live.
However, India can still learn many things from Western countries. Thank you for giving me an opportunity to comment.

I am basically from Mysore but for the past 25 years, I am living in Bangalore. My family and I know the old Bangalore era and the new Bangalore era. Bangalore is one of the worst cities (Annual Survey of India’s City System (ASICS)) in India perhaps in the world when we look at a certain survey conducted by many world organizations but most Kannada people are not accepted because of emotional bound with language and culture.bangalore is not another silicon valley as people proud because they haven't seen how's lives of silicon valley people. Bangalore had been evolved under the former CM S.M.Krishna and It becomes a huge IT and Software hub in the country. Apart from that Bangalore doesn't have anything proud. People are racist I truly agree.

The list of issues are,

BBPM is the most corrupted municipality.
The education center becomes a money market.
No quality of hospital nor doctor. Average private clinic changes around 400 - 500 It's costly.
The unemployment rate is high.
The real-estate business is a fraud.
Poor infrastructure.
Huge garbage collection and no idea how to recycle them.
News channels do not provide quality news.
The cost of living is high 500sqft rent is 10-15K per month.
The quality of food and cost is good.
Green city turning the black city soon.
Air pollution and other pollution
water issue.
People are forced you to learn Kannada but don't understand why.
Nowadays generation people don't know anything about Kannada apart from Kannada movies.
The higher rate of migration
Land Acquisition high.
The quality of livelihood is poor compare to Gurugram and other cities.
The public transportation rate is higher than in another city.
Also, Bengaluru is a hub of racism, murder, rape, theft, religious persecution of minorities, cheaters, fraudsters, rowdyism, and criminals and is a horrible place filled with mostly terrible people is true.

I have lived in China and Singapore also other parts of India but Bangalore is becoming worst day by day if govt does not look at core issues.

Bangalore is not at all safe. The Covid positive cases are extremely high here in Bangalore.
Most people in Bangalore are scared to get themselves tested for Covid. Several people in Bangalore are afraid to approach doctors and hospitals. Even the private hospitals in Bangalore only care about money and most doctors, paramedics and staff are ignorant and rude.
Some private hospitals in Bangalore are charging Rs. 1 Lakh per day in a General Private Ward for a Covid-19 patient. There are no vaccines yet, and the charges are ridiculously expensive. The ultra-rich people can manage, but what about the others?
The 'Arogya Setu' app is an awfully inaccurate and fraudulent mobile app developed by the Government of India.
Government hospitals are THE WORST throughout Karnataka, not just Bangalore.
I hope my honest and sincere comments help others in knowing the truth.

Bangalore is paradise for murderers, rapists, molesters, burglars, liars, intimidators, cheaters, racists, financial crooks and gangsters.
The media never reports the extremely high crime existing in Bangalore.
As a woman, I felt extremely scared living alone in Bangalore. Sometimes, I felt my life was in danger. People are the worst and least-helpful in Bangalore. I am happy that I have permanently moved out of Bangalore.
All the comments written by 97 other people here about Crime in Bangalore are real and genuine. I have read all of their comments.

Bangalore is more racist than any other city of India. If you are not Kannadiga - the native of the province, then there are plenty of chances that you might face abusive words, sometimes physical attack.

You are right Motwani sir. People cooperate everywhere in English and Hindi in South India. So nothing special about Bangalore regarding language skills.

I am from Punjab.
During my stay in Bangalore, I was robbed and ripped-off multiple times. My cellphone, wallet and laptop were stolen at the Indiranagar 100 feet road area of Bengaluru.
These gangsters came on a bike at night and stole my belongings. Burglars had also invaded my house at Koramangala locality and stole our TV, mobile phones, hard disks and jewels.
I still don't understand why media is spreading lies about the low Coronavirus positive cases in Bangalore. Just because people are lazy to get tested over there, why should the same people boast a lot and spread in the media?
All Karnataka politicians are living in a world of delusion. They have only developed Bangalore. All Karnataka politicians also have a love affair with this crime-filled town of Bangalore. Please read this:

https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/bangalore/my-dream-my-bengaluru-karnataka-cm-yediyurappa-writes/article31880953.ece

What is the use of boasting that Bangalore accounts for half of Karnataka's GDP when there is enormous amount of crime and pollution in this town?
In Bangalore, the education, Healthcare and water supply sectors are a mafia.

And I did not find anything special about the highly overrated climate of Bangalore. Its climate is cloudy and depressingly gloomy for 6 months a year. Then there is burning heat during the afternoons in April and May.
In August and September you'll have to save yourself from getting washed away from the floods. It rains insane for just an hour, but the entire Bangalore town will be flooded! All manholes and gutters will be covered by flood waters due to pathetic planning. Many people do not watch their step and lose their lives by stepping on uncovered manholes, gutters in Bangalore. These are real facts and the worst Bangalore media never reports these genuine facts.
If climate was so important, then places in GCC countries, Canada, Finland, Japan, Singapore, etc. would never have developed. Indians are foolish when it comes to climate.
I am very grateful to all the people from across India for posting their honest comments and real facts about Bangalore in this page.
Thanks everyone! Have a great weekend!

I have read the comments people have written here, and I agree with all of them.
I too feel that all the politicians in Karnataka and entire India have a very low IQ.
Take one instance, why is the Bangalore-Chennai expressway even needed? You can comfortably travel via road/rail/air between Bangalore and Chennai.
But Bangalore lacks good rail and road connectivity with the entire Western Karnataka. Why are all the India and Karnataka politicians so brainless?
Many national/state highways in Karnataka are single-lane and filled with potholes. Railway infrastructure in west Karnataka is also miserable.
Oh, I am from West Bengal, for your information.
All of Karnataka's infrastructure and multinational companies are placed in Bangalore and made the state capital. But they want Bangalore to have excellent connectivity with Chennai and Tamil Nadu, and not with many cities/towns of Karnataka.
This is hypocrisy at its very best!

Ministers are above the law here in Bengaluru.

https://www.outlookindia.com/website/story/india-news-im-a-minister-i-am-exempted-no-quarantine-for-bjp-mp-sadananda-gowda-after-travel-to-bengaluru/353479

It is only the ordinary citizens that have to quarantine for Covid-19 and suffer. Covid-19 does not harm MPs and ministers. They are exempted from quarantine! This happens in the so called "highly educated city" of Bengaluru.

This year, a church at Kengeri locality in Bangalore was vandalized by burglars.
The attackers threw away the holy communion.

https://www.indiatvnews.com/news/india/church-st-francis-of-assisi-in-bengaluru-attacked-ransacked-by-miscreant-581597

The altar of the church was vandalized and the tabernacle was destroyed. The burglars came with the intention of destroying this church.

About 3 months ago, burglars broke into my house at Bangalore and stole jewelry, TV, utensils, clocks, bedsheets and curtains. I am staying at RT Nagar locality in Bangalore. The burglars used an axe and chopped off the front door of my house. I could make out by seeing the remaining door edges. I now realize why an extra iron door covers the front door in most Bangalore houses. The police said it was my fault because I was not in my house at that time!
One more thing I have to tell is that most Bangalore people are very good at flattery. They will literally end each phrase with Sir, Madam, Boss, Guru, etc. But these same crooked flattering people will play games behind your back. Watch out!
After the lockdown ends, I will return back to my native place in Haryana. I intend to permanently move out of Bangalore and settle in some other city.

I work for a startup at Nagavara in Bengaluru. This site is very useful for our project. Our usecase is to predict the future crime rate, pollution stats and quality of life in Bengaluru. We are using predictive analytics.
All the comments written by people in this page and other pages are very useful for our text analytics project. We also want to analyze the keywords from all these comments.
We will soon use your API and this is great for our company.
I highly recommend this website to all the Bengaluru startups working on data prediction and analysis. The API is super useful for our projects. Thank you very much.

I had written earlier. I want to add on a few things here.

Sites such as Google, Quora, social media, movies and India news have done a lot of sugarcoating to Bangalore, showing it like some sort of paradise. These sites have exaggerated the dry climate and English/Hindi reading ability of Bangaloreans.

But Numbeo is genuine, honest, trustworthy and very accurate. It also relies on the opinions of people. Also remember that over 500 people have so far expressed their opinion about crime in Bangalore. My special thanks to Numbeo for giving us factual and unbiased information.

Bangalore has the highest crime in South India. Most incidents don't get reported. Bangalore is also the most polluted and most expensive place in South India.

@Ranjith
I'm not North Indian lol, I was born in Alwal, Andhra Pradesh and only have North Indian ancestors. My parents are from Nagpur and Erode/Coimbatore. I did not go to the North because of the distance (apart from places like Delhi and Ahmedabad).
I can agree about climate and certain points of crime like mugging and theft, sometimes even kidnapping and murder (like where I used to live in Garudacharpalya), and busy places aren't the safest, you're right. Maybe crime happens a lot and only like a very little bit of it gets reported. Also, I was young at that time and probably wasn't too aware about it and only area I lived in were Hyderabad, Ooty and b'lore.

There are couple of things to criticize Bangalore for, like the pollution, and bad roads, but it's surprising how the safety to walk alone at night here is on the verge of being low. I think this website is more specific and doesn't sugarcoat info like google I think. It's similar to Mumbai in a way where it has both extreme poverty and and low hygiene in local restaurants but at the same time overpriced living and riches and great hospitality in high class restaurants like BBQ Nation, Toscana, Mainland China and hotels like Marriott where you actually get to try food and it isn't strictly for staying. Schooling wise, our school was voted the 6th best in India. Not all are perfect tho.

Plus there was a shooting today, literally like 10 hours ago, so that also proves your point.

I'm probably gonna come back to visit this June, hope it's all good. Just need precautions, which I'm here to ask.

And I need some examples of better South Indian cities...? Maybe Chennai, Mangalore, Kochi, or Salem.

I lived here for 6-7 years, and think certain areas are bad, but is it really THIS unsafe? If so how?
Can you please summarize it for me?

I can't read all 80 comments at once, especially when they keep increasing.

I read in Quora that Kannadigas are the most chilled out people in India, because of the cool climate.
That means then all humans living in Antarctica or Mars will be having cool temperament. Shows the amount of marketing and PR being done on social media by Karnataka government and Kannadigas towards Bangalore and Mysore.
But honesty and sanity prevails in Numbeo.
Thank you Numbeo for providing an unbiased opinion.
I will be subscribing soon to your newsletter.

Primary school education in Bangalore is not affordable and ridiculously expensive.
Bangalore is only fit for some person who has coffers filled with billions of rupees.
Even high schools are highly overpriced here.
These Bangalore schools recruit sadistic teachers and principals.
It is not at all worth living in this dystopia where people don't have any humanity.
Hospital treatments are also way overpriced. Unnecessary tests will be carried out and you will spend lakes of rupees in Bangalore even for a simple treatment. ICU bill will be much more than a lakh rupees per day!
Robbery, extortion, suicide and murder are very common in Bangalore. Most of the crime cases don't even get reported over here.
Not sure which agency reported that Bangalore is among the cheapest cities in the world. It certainly is a retarded and shameless PR agency.
Oh, and if you think outskirts of Bangalore are better to live, then let me remind you that Bangalore outskirts villages and towns don't even have basic infrastructure. Their literacy rate is around 50% !

All Kannada news channel agencies are filled with gangsters and low-class rowdies from Bangalore and its surrounding districts. This includes all the Kannada news anchors also.
Watching Kannada news channels for long might lead to heart attack or brain hemorrhage. A very real fact. The news is propagated in such a way to terrorize and frighten viewers.
Even Tamil, Malayalam and Telugu news channels are very bad and full of crap, but not as bad as Kannada.
One need not have a masters degree in Journalism to join news companies in South India. Bangalore is leading by example for all South Indian states that being a scary hooligan is all that it takes to be a journalist.

To #C Reddy
You are absolutely correct. But you forgot to add Tamil Nadu's Dharmapuri district to your list of districts of rowdies.
You will find many daily wage rowdy workers in Bangalore, migrated from this district too.
And there is enough evidence here, commented by the earlier people to prove that Bangalore is indeed a criminal's paradise.

Bangalore, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Chennai and entire Kerala should be locked down for a very long time. Otherwise Coronavirus will spread from these densely populated places to smaller cities, towns and villages.
All flights to and from China, East Asia, Europe, UK, USA, GCC countries, etc. should be completely banned in India for atleast another 2 years. This is absolutely mandatory.
These foreign nationals, NRIs, OCIs along with India's International Airports are the main cause for Coronavirus to spread in India.
