September 23, 2025Mysore/Mysuru: Senior citizens in Mysuru continue to be targeted by criminals who stage fake accidents to extort money. In an incident that occurred on May 27, which has now come to light, two senior citizens were nearly duped by a gang near Aditya Circle on Ring Road, Dattagalli. The group got down, forced the two senior citizens out of the car, hurled abuses and accused them of drunken driving. A Garuda team rushed to the spot and took everyone — the five accused and the two senior citizens — to Kuvempunagar Police Station. Even so, our teams are actively monitoring and tracking these crimes to ensure the safety of senior citizens.
