A staged accident scam was caught on a dashcam in Bengaluru’s KR Puram, where a pedestrian was seen deliberately falling onto a car’s bonnet and pretending to be hit by the vehicle. However, the footage exposed the scam in real-time.
The video that went viral on social media showed a man covered in red stains, which were depicted as blood from an injury, as he waited for vehicles. However, the authenticity of the video was not independently verified by ABP Live.
