A viral video capturing the incident showed two men engaging in a heated argument with a shopkeeper. One of them brandished a dagger, issuing threats and creating panic among onlookers.

Responding promptly, the police arrested the primary suspect and made the announcement in their signature style by incorporating a popular Kannada song, "Ningidu Bekitta Magane." In a post on X, they humorously wrote, "When you think wielding a knife will get you free smokes, but all it gets you is a free ride to the station."

The swift action of the police was widely praised by citizens. One user commented, "Keep them in custody… If they have no fear carrying a weapon, they have no fear using it." Another expressed gratitude, saying, "Thanks @BlrCityPolice for your prompt response. Please also address the rising crime rates, as auto and cab drivers often intimidate people, assuming the police won’t intervene."

Some users highlighted deeper concerns, stating, "Imagine the hundreds who haven't had the courage to report such incidents. Once released, he will still remain a criminal. The police need to dig deeper and eliminate these offenders from the root."

Meanwhile, others appreciated the Bengaluru Police’s creative approach to communication. "It's hard to even dislike the cops when they post memes like these," one user remarked.

The incident has once again highlighted the importance of vigilance and swift action by law enforcement to maintain order and public safety in Bengaluru.
