On Saturday around 11 pm, a gang tried to waylay and threaten K Praveenkumar (36), who works in a food delivery service. Sensing the risk, he quickly took a turn and decided to cross the area with another route. “When I tried to enter the stretch which connects two underpasses just after the entrance, a group of men, who were consuming liquor, tried to waylay me. The entire stretch which goes for at least 100 meters inside the underpass looks like a hide-out. I got scared after seeing those men standing there,” he said.
