Bengaluru police have taken eleven Nepali citizens into custody following a violent confrontation that erupted in front of the iconic Vidhan Soudha, the state legislature building. The incident, which occurred recently, prompted immediate police intervention to control the situation.
The Investigation Findings
According to police authorities, the subsequent investigation uncovered a surprising motive behind the group's activities in the area. The individuals were part of a gang that had been systematically creating video content for social media platforms. They were specifically shooting short-form videos, commonly known as 'reels', at and around several of Bengaluru's major landmarks.
These videos were then shared exclusively within various online groups consisting primarily of Nepali community members. The content was reportedly gaining significant traction, with police noting that the videos were garnering high viewership numbers within these closed circles.
Police Response and Ongoing Case
Law enforcement officials confirmed that all eleven individuals are currently in police custody and facing appropriate legal charges. The case highlights growing concerns about public safety near government buildings and the sometimes extreme lengths content creators will go to for online popularity.
The incident has raised questions about the regulation of public spaces and the potential security risks posed by organized groups filming at sensitive locations. Police have not disclosed the specific nature of the content being created or what exactly triggered the physical clash between the group members.
Authorities continue to investigate whether there were other underlying factors behind the confrontation and are examining the social media content as part of their evidence collection process.
