Strategic Insights

High drama unfolded in the early hours of Monday in Bengaluru as Quick Response Teams (QRTs) surrounded a three-storeyed building housing the Geometry Brewery and Kitchen, located near Malleshwaram 17th cross. A pub security guard alerted the police helpline (112) about an armed intruder around 4.03 am, and fearing for his life, he locked the building and called for police assistance. The police, led by Deputy Commissioner of Police, North Division, Saidulu Adavath, thoroughly searched each floor and room of the building but found no intruder, suggesting that the suspect had fled before the police arrived. The police are now analyzing CCTV footage from the area to trace the suspect's movements and identify him.
