SUBJECT/ Security Advisory

Dear Colleagues,

As reported in the media, there has been a spate of recent muggings in

the city. The muggers seem to be targeting IT employees and single
occupant cars. The areas targeted were around Iblur junction, between
Iblur and Marathahalli, or Iblur to Kaikondrahalli or Kaikondrahalli to
Electronics City. Two-three persons riding Karnataka registered two-
wheelers between 11 am to 4 pm have been confirmed as
perpetrators. One of them is stout with a dark complexion, and the
other one is lean with wheatish complexion.

The modus operandi has been to follow IT professionals on a two

wheeler, continually honk from behind and stop the vehicle indicating
an accident has been caused and forcibly enter the vehicle. The
perpetrators also threaten stating that the injured person is the
brother/relative of a local don. These are tactics to extort money by
taking the victim to the ATM. They are well versed in Kannada and
speak a little of Hindi as well.

How to prevent being a victim

If you are faced with such an incident, be bold, do not panic.

Lock the vehicle from inside so that they cannot sit inside your
vehicle.

If by chance they get into your vehicle, get out immediatelyyou
will be in a public place. Raise your voice and call the people
around.

If they try to threaten you or manhandle you, keep a pepper spray
as a defense and use it properly and carefully if necessary.

Dont take too much risk and dont risk your lifeyour safety is
more important!

Remember their operation is a planned and even they are equally
scared but they pretend to be courageous.

All HP employees frequenting these routes and also other remote areas
are advised to exercise adequate caution and continue to remain alert.
