"Action Will Be Taken": Bengaluru Police Respond After Viral Video of Youths Brandishing Weapons Near School

Bengaluru Police have responded after a viral video allegedly showed a group of youths brandishing weapons and violating traffic rules near St. Alphonsus School on Davis Road. Authorities said appropriate action will be taken following the incident.

A shocking incident of alleged rowdyism near a school junction in Bengaluru has sparked concern among residents after a video showing a group of youths engaged in a public confrontation went viral on social media. The incident reportedly took place on Saturday morning near St. Alphonsus School on Davis Road, where several youths were seen involved in a heated altercation while allegedly displaying a deadly weapon and openly violating traffic rules. The video has reignited concerns about public safety, law and order, and reckless behaviour on the city's roads.

According to a local resident who shared the video online, the incident occurred at around 7:30 am near Ghousia Tea Hotel at Lucky Junction. Residents claim that similar incidents of rowdyism have become increasingly common in the area, particularly around tea stalls and nearby cigarette shops.

Viral Video Raises Safety Concerns

According to eyewitness accounts, eight youths arrived at the location on two scooters, with four people riding on each vehicle. None of them were reportedly wearing helmets, and traffic regulations were allegedly ignored.

The situation escalated into a heated argument, after which one of the youths was allegedly seen brandishing a large weapon in public. The incident reportedly created panic among local residents, commuters and parents accompanying children to nearby schools.

As the area is surrounded by educational institutions, shops and busy roads, residents expressed concern that such behaviour poses a serious threat to public safety.
