Bengaluru: The politician who installed the bus shelter on Indiranagar 100 Feet Road, which went missing on May 27 night, has come up with a novel idea — install a CCTV camera to keep an eagle eye on the bus shelter that will be set up for the third time in the last year!
“I need to know who did it. I have asked my men to install a CCTV camera at a nearby electric pole that will keep a watch 24/7 on the bus shelter henceforth,” said S. Raghu, MLA C.V. Raman Nagar constituency.
“I approached the police, they refused to get involved. I approached the nearby shopping outlets that had CCTV cameras focusing on 100 Feet Road, to see if they could give me footage so that one could see who the miscreants could be. They were unwilling to cooperate, giving out one lame excuse after another,” the MLA said.

“My associates have gone to the market to buy material for the frame and other accessories of the bus shelter. They would start their work on assembling the bus shelter on Thursday and Friday. It would take two days as there are electrical works also involved, and we will be re-inaugurating the same bus shelter for the third time on Saturday (June 6),” said Raghu adding that the CCTV will also be installed the same day.
An entire bus shelter with its frame, roof and seats, went missing from the prominent 100 feet road in Indiranagar adjacent to the New Horizon School on the night of May 27. The incident came to light the next day morning when the bus commuters found something amiss at the Doopanahalli bus stop where they usually wait for buses.
The bus shelter beams were cut off, clearly using powerful metal cutters with no sign of even a tiny fragment of the dismantled remains of the bus shelter to be seen anywhere. The irked MLA alleged that it is the handiwork of an individual who owned a plot right behind the bus shelter and he wants to get the bus shelter gone away from there.
