BMTC
Pick pocketing in Shivajinagar Busstand

On February 15th; when I tried to enter a bus (Bus NO: 330) from shivajinagar busstand, I was pick pocketed. I immediately realised the loss of purse but because of heavy rush, i could not figure out who has done it. The artificial rush while entering a bus is intentionally created by the group of pick pocketers to do the pick pocketing while entering the bus. I searched for the conductor and driver, none was there. after 4-5 minutes i saw conductor coming and informed him the same but he simply told to inform the police or check inside the bus. i rushed to the enquiry room (searching inside bus is futile since it was already late by over 5 minutes), the person in the enquiry room called police man, who came almost 5-10 minutes after. the person in the enquiry room has given me Rs.20 to indiranagar. The police man showed no interest in investigating the issue. Instead he advised me to go to the bank and block the credit and debit cards by going to the bank in mg road and indiranagar. I am totally frustrated with the irresponsible attititude of BMTC officials and the policemen (I am not sure whether the police men are also getting some share of the money looted by pick pocketers. The police man was very eager to send me out from the shivajinagar as early as possible. however, i got my purse in the evening by one bmtc driver who found it lying in the bus with all the cards intact but with no money. he called me in my office number (identified with my id inside the purse) i collected the purse. but who will compensate for the Rs 800-/- which i lost in the purse. even the to cards i have blocked and had to pay Rs. 200 for one duplicate debit card. I feel dejected and feels like being fooled by the BMTC-Police-Pickpocketers nexus. Now, I am thinking of avoiding BMTC to the maximum in my life. My email id is 123ineedhelp123@gmail.com
