A woman from Nagaland has alleged that the K.R. Puram police not only refused to register a complaint of robbery but were callous.
Sonny Tsanglao alleged that two men on a bike snatched her wallet on July 13 at T.C. Palya signal. She went to the police station to lodge a complaint. “The personnel refused to lodge an FIR and made us change our statement. Instead of theft/robbery, they told us to write that the wallet, containing documents and cash, was lost. They asked us our nationality, which country we are from. I replied Nagaland, India, which seemed like a joke to them. They smirked and one of them said ‘oh..! India…. and Manipur is the capital of Nagaland’. It was pure racial discrimination,” she posted on the Facebook page of the Bengaluru City Police. She claimed that she spoke in English and Hindi, but none of the police personnel could understand either language.
A senior police officer from the East Division said that the complaint was forwarded to them by the Facebook team and it is being looked into.
