Woman fakes accident by jumping in front of Bengaluru car, caught on camera

Dashcams have become essential safety devices for motorists. They provide a visual record of incidents on the road, which can be crucial in case of accidents, insurance claims, or disputes or, in the case of this video, to expose a person trying to fake an accident. Shared on X, a video shows a woman throwing herself in front of a car in Bengaluru.
X user Shonee Kapoor shared the video with the caption, “Put a dashcam. You never know when this happens to you. Especially, when it is a lady. If something happens, people will take her side instantly.”
The dashcam footage captures a car on a busy road in Bengaluru. Suddenly, a woman comes in front of the car, and the driver slows down. However, the woman throws herself on the bonnet and then pretends to fall on the ground. The driver screams, “Police, police,” as the woman behaves erratically before leaving the scene.
With nearly one million views, the viral video has shocked people. Several took to the comments section to share their reactions to the footage.
“Dashcam is a must in India. You never know what type of an idiot you will run into on the roads,” wrote an X user. Another posted, “Don’t know about now but once this was a well practised MO of Dharavi based gangs. They used to run a good extortion racket then.” A third expressed, “What is she doing here??”
