Overview
- A 38-year-old man from Madhya Pradesh who has lived in Bengaluru for about a decade says he is considering relocating to Lonavala.
- He alleges repeated harassment, citing road rage, disputes with landlords and neighbours over minor issues, and verbal abuse from auto drivers and shopkeepers.
- The man claims police interactions were rude and unhelpful when he spoke English, Hindi or broken Kannada.
- He notes limited Kannada proficiency despite efforts, says only a small minority responded warmly, and adds that remote-friendly work makes moving feasible.
- National outlets relayed the social media post with verification disclaimers, commenters debated Bengaluru’s changing mood and alternatives, and News18 reports the post was later removed.
