Bengaluru: A 20-year-old Nepalese cook was summoned to Halehalli, east Bengaluru, by three men posing as police officers, only to be attacked with knives and a wooden log after they questioned him and his friends about ganja and gambling. Avalahally police registered a case under BNS Sections 109 (attempt to murder), 115 (voluntarily causing hurt) and 351 (criminal intimidation).
