Student who refused selfie with bike attacked

Two men assaulted an engineering student who refused to let them take selfies with his high-end bike, worth Rs 30 lakh.

The incident happened in the early hours of Wednesday near Bethany School at Koramangala.

Ganesh Gowda R, a resident of Jayanagar 9th Block, was in a coffee shop at Koramangala 4th Block with his friends around 11.30 pm on Tuesday. Around 1 am, he left with his friend Vinay on his Honda Gold Wing bike.

A few paces away, the two bike-borne miscreants overtook and stopped Gowda’s bike. They wanted Gowda to give them his bike to take selfies, and snatched the keys.

A scuffle broke out as Gowda refused to let them take selfies and the duo punched him with a knuckle ring. Gowda bled and collapsed on the
road. The miscreants threw the bike keys at him and fled the scene.

Gowda was rushed to St John’s Hospital, where the police took a statement from him in the presence of the doctors.

The Koramangala police
are reviewing the CCTV footage to identify the men and are conducting further investigation.
