Engineer Fleeing Dogs Accused of Theft in Bengaluru
Imagine a man being chased by dogs late at night.
He jumps into a building's yard to get away.
But instead of help, the people there think he's a thief!
They take his phone and don't believe him until a neighbor checks the security cameras.
It shows he was telling the truth.
Then, they give him his phone back.
Now he is wondering if they did the right thing.
A Bengaluru software engineer was chased by stray dogs and entered a residential compound to escape.
He was confronted by residents who accused him of trespassing and theft despite his explanation.
The residents took his phone and refused to call the police or check CCTV footage initially.
