Kiran’s brutal killing in Bengaluru’s Ramamurthy Nagar area has reignited grave concerns with public safety in the city and law enforcement. Evidence made public on mobile phone shows that after the victim stopped moving, the accused carried out an aggressive and nasty machete attack in broad daylight. With the crime we're hearing people is increasing boldness and impunity.
Experts and residents warn that such violent crimes in public spaces erode trust in policing and governance. The attack demonstrates a disturbing reality: Crime is coming for murder as the perpetrators appear unperturbed of police action and by government officials who go beyond what’s needed at all and just make any crime ever so terrible that it is not criminal at all at the beginning of the season that people do not fear repercussions for people who commit them in the world. Public confidence in Bengaluru are under threat in the police and in the courts at large these kind of high profile crimes in Bengaluru are creating insecurity among local residents.

There is immense scrutiny on local authorities, including Karnataka Home Minister G. Parameshwara, to ensure that residents are secure. Residents are wanting tougher punishments for repeat offenders and quicker and more transparent policing that would prevent the violence and criminal activity amongst them. Law enforcement officials must take safety to the next level, and more concrete means in what we see on city streets.
Community leaders and social commentators say unless corrective action is taken and that anger and community fear build up further, public fear as an indicator of the city is likely to increase; Bengaluru is not a safe place for criminals to work. More aggressive preventive measures, faster trials, and more robust corporate responsibility are required to build the trust and make certain Bengaluru now is not to have criminals with impunity. I think Kiran's murder has gone to show the people that they also can't be tolerated, and should be ashamed.
