This incident marks the second such occurrence in Bengaluru, with a similar case reported earlier in Whitefield, where another dashcam video revealed a man stepping into a vehicle’s path and pretending to be injured.

The latest footage quickly gained traction on social media, prompting widespread condemnation of the fraudulent act. Many users expressed outrage and called for stringent action against those involved.

One social media user stated, "The scams are getting bloodier by the day. Without a dashcam, one is toast, especially when driving at night." Another suggested that an organised extortion ring might be behind these staged incidents.
