Ramanagara SP flags fake news on social media about robberies on Bengaluru-Mysuru Expressway

Ramanagara District Superintendent of Police, Karthik Reddy, clarified that the viral news on social media claiming a series of nighttime vehicle robberies on the Bengaluru-Mysuru Expressway is completely false.
