While we are often presented with negative images of Indian cops on the silver screen, a recent incident in Bengaluru proves that the reality can be very different.
Bengaluru police are among the most lauded in the country. On Friday, they exhibited courage and dedication when they promptly responded to a call from a local businessman and rescued him from a group of goons.

Balaji Mohan was attacked by a gang of hooligans when he stepped out of his Banaswadi home for some work last week. In panic and fear, he immediately dialled 100 for help. Within seven minutes, two policemen named Ponnanna and Zahid reached the location and rescued Mohan from the persons who had attacked him.

Mr.Commissioner I don't know if are reading this but today if we all are sleeping peacefully it is because of one of these guys!! I had some hooligans attack me on the road which is just 100m from my home. Helplessly, I called 100 and to my surprise these guys in the pic Ponnanna & Zahid from Banaswadi Police team were at my rescue exactly within 7 minutes!! I was baffled to see this kind of response. These guys deserve a pat on their back for the quick response. YES WE LIVE IN BANGALORE AND BANGALORE POLICE ARE NO LESS THAN NYPD!!! I hope the whole of India turns to be as safe as Bangalore one day.
