At first laughed this off as spam, but the second emails seems to confirm it. I have not checked the email address of the second sender.
Hi All,
I would like to share one incident which happened to my friend Gawtham, (He is working in Valtech), today early morning.
He is staying in Belandur came from his native town to banglore at 4 AM.
From Silk board he got into an auto and got down at Belandur (Out Ring Road, near Intel Office) and walked towards his house.
Suddenly one Toyota Qualis came and stopped in front of him and took him inside vehicle and started to move.
Inside the vehicle there were 5 people including driver and already caught two girls. (My friend saw that girl’s ID card and found they are
Wipro employees).
They have tied everyone’s legs ,hands and plastered their mouth.
Those thieves had taken all the credit cards as well as money from him. They asked him ATM PIN number for this debit card.
This guy had given wrong number.One of the thief went to the ATM and tried withdrawing it.
Then he come to know it is invalid number.They beaten him up severely front and back.
His hands got fractured and they had cut his fingers,hands using knife.
Then he told the correct number , those thief had withdrawn 18,000 from the ATM and
threw him away in some place near to Ramamoorthy nagar. He shouted for help. It is early in the morning ,everyone
scared to come and have a look . He slowly moved towards the road and got a help from one kind heart person
who had given him hundred rupees. He caught the auto and came to my house.I couldn’t able to forget the way he
came to my house.This hands and legs are fully blooded as if he was met in an accident done by the vehicle.
This back side has the red marks. I took him to the hospital.He is getting treatment now.
He doesn’t know what happened to those girls till now.
If you are staying late night , Plz Go only by your office cab.Take to your home for dropping you.
Folks, This is happened early in the morning. Make sure while coming from your native to bangalore,
you will be reaching between 5 to 6AM and getdown in the Bus stand where there is crowd. But be very careful on your way to house.
Unfortunately, If you are getting caught by thief, Give your cards,ATM number,jewels everything.
Your Life is more precious than your money and belongings.
If it is not very important dont carry your credit and ATM cards everyday with you.
Please fowrard this information to all your dear ones and friends.
Regards
Vinoth Alagesan.

Subject: SHOCKING EXPERIENCE OF VALTECH ENGINEER GANESH GOWTHAM
Importance: High
Monday 24th July 2006
Dear Colleagues,
It is with deep anguish that, I am constrained to share with you, the
traumatic experience of one of our colleagues : Mr. Ganesh Gowtham (
Software Engineer in Agefos Project Team ), who was physically
attacked, nearly abducted, deprived on his cellphone, and coerced to surrender
his UTI-ATM-Debit-Card by unidentified and armed hoodlums who withdrew his
entire cash balance ( Rs 15K to Rs 16K ) from his account.
We have, hitherto, been reading reports of similar such gory incidents
in the newspapers almost every day. It is only in the early hours of this
morning that, one of our colleagues had to personally experience this.
Ganesh had returned from Chennai around 4 am, and was walking towards
his home, in Ramamurthy Nagar area in Bangalore, when the hoodlums, armed
with large knives, and who were perhaps, three or four in number, accosted
him, gagged him, dragged him inside the Toyota Qualis vehicle, deprived him
of his aforesaid belongings, bruised his finger which bled profusely, and
threw him out of the vehicle before speeding away. According to Ganesh,
there were two women who were also in the vehicle and who were
apparently victims as well.

Kishore, Truman: I spent half my growing-up years in Bangalore and it was the sweetest, sleepiest, safest little town. I keep looking for that town now when I visit Bangalore, but it has vanished.
Rahul: Museum Road… unbelievable, isn’t it?
Mangs: Brrr. I can’t even begin to imagine Bangalore this way.
Homer: That’s so creepy. I know the Silk Board-Sarjapur Road area well…. I edited the email address out of the comment so that whoever sent it (assuming it’s genuine) doesn’t get flooded with spam.
