Police in Bengaluru have taken note of the viral video and started a basic inquiry.

Officials said that no formal complaint has been filed so far. They are checking the footage and looking at other CCTV recordings from nearby areas.

Police have also asked the public not to panic. They advised residents to stay alert and report any suspicious activity to the police control room immediately.
