Bengaluru Youth Dress Up as Ghosts to Scare People, Get Arrested

Bengaluru police arrested seven men for scaring commuters in Sharifnagar near Yeshwanthpur.

In the 90s’ Kannada horror films, a ghost typically wore white robes and a wig with long hair that covered its face – and many of us may have scared a sleeping sibling by taking inspiration from the screen. But these seven Bengaluru men took it a notch higher and tried to scare unsuspecting late night commuters in the city. They have now landed in the police net.

The Bengaluru police on Monday, 11 November, arrested seven men for dressing up in white robes, wearing wigs covering their faces and scaring commuters on the road in Sharifnagar near Yeshwanthpur. Videos of the pranks they pulled on several homeless residents and commuters went viral soon after the arrest.
