What exactly is Bengaluru heading towards? How can a police officer, who is diligently performing his duty, be subjected to such disgraceful misbehavior on a public road? This is not just an attack on an individual officer but an insult to the law and order of our city.

This is not just an attack on an individual officer but an insult to the law and order of our city."
The viral video triggered a wave of reactions online, with many expressing concern over the state of law enforcement and road discipline. One user remarked, "Our police have become too kind to offenders. I saw a luggage auto driver racing a car, overtaking at high speed on the wrong route near a check post, and the cops just counseled him and let him go. Excessive kindness and strictness both can be harmful."
Another user emphasised stricter penalties, stating, "Driving a vehicle without insurance should result in vehicle seizure. A mere fine won’t deter offenders—this is a serious offense." A third user reflected on the city’s growing frustrations, writing, "People in Bangalore are so frustrated with their everyday lives that it comes out like this. Totally shameful."
