Bengaluru: HAL locality’s peace was disturbed on Sunday (June 7) after a youth was found murdered at his rented home. The incident follows the assault of a BWSSB worker and burning of a puncture shop. Both these incidents were due to the locals questioning hoodlums and drug addicts to behave properly and not to loiter around in the area.

 

The women in the area say several complaints to HAL police have not yielded any results as they suspect police being hand-in-glove with criminals from Islampur, Syed Block, Reddy Palya.

 

Now, they have demanded installation of CCTVs and police chowki in the area to check the drug addicts and hoodlums.
