In a Reddit post, that is now making rounds on the internet, a Bengaluru man claimed that an auto driver attacked him and his 5 friends on a ride. There were 5 friends who were coming back from the ISKCON Temple.

Initially, the group tried to book a Rapido auto but none accepted so they walked over to a nearby Auto stand, hailed an auto and agreed on a deal to Jalahalli for Rs 350.

"While on the way, he stopped the Auto 2 kms early and started shouting that this is the place you asked and do payment or pay 200 extra for hoing the 2 kms. We tried to reason with him and he started aggressively attacking us and asked us to talk in Kannada, I tried to reason so he started bringing something from the Auto to attack but as we were 5 so he hesitated and I was not going back ( was a risky decision)," the man further shared in the post.

What did the friends do?

Fearing the attack, the friends took help from the authorities and called the police. "We called the police but he was too confident that police will support the locals but thank god they came, listened to us and scolded him, and challaned him and asked him to leave to our place which he now knew exactly where it was," he informed.
