Sir,
This refers to the report ‘Criminals extort money from elderly car drivers by faking accidents’ (SOM dated June 21). I was also a victim of this kind of fake accident in 2020. Naturally, this criminal act must have been going on since long. At Dasappa Circle I had stopped my car when red signal came on. After a few seconds, I heard a gentle thud at the rear of the car but ignored it. Immediately, a rickshaw driver came and complained rudely saying I had applied the brake suddenly and as a result he had to hit my car and his rickshaw got damaged. He was intimidating me. I gave him a stern look and luckily green signal came on.
