November 13, 2019 By Neelam Patel

At least seven college students were arrested Monday for playing late night pranks on residents in Mathikere, Yeshwantpur and other areas of Bengaluru.

The students, who are creators for a YouTube channel named ‘Kooky Pedia’, were dressed as ghosts in white robes and were intercepting pedestrians and motorists.

The police said the arrests took place around 2 am Monday after locals complained that the students were “creating public nuisance and frightening them.”
