Even though the number of accidents taking place on Bengaluru-Mysuru highway has come down considerably after enforcement of speed limit, instances of highway robbery continue to be reported.
A couple travelling by car on Sunday night was waylaid by two persons on a two-wheeler on the elevated portion of the highway near Ganjam in Srirangapatna taluk.
When the victims, who were proceeding towards Mysuru, stopped the car, the accused claiming to be police personnel, questioned the driver the reason for driving slowly. Next, they demanded the occupants of the car to produce their vehicle documents.
