Nikhil Kamath's Chat With Bengaluru Police Chiefs Is High On ‘Humour And Honesty'
Last Updated: Nikhil Kamath's podcast, WTF, will see Bengaluru's Commissioner of Police B Dayananda and Joint Commissioner of Police (Traffic) MN Anucheth as guests.

Joining him for a candid chat are Bengaluru's Commissioner of Police B Dayananda and Joint Commissioner of Police (Traffic) MN Anucheth. The trailer for the episode, released on Thursday, offers a glimpse of a conversation that is far from formal. The video shows Kamath behind the wheel and driving the two senior officers through Bengaluru's roads as they talk about traffic, films, daily life and much more. At one point, Kamath asks, 'What happens if I make a traffic violation with you in the car?" With a laugh, Commissioner Dayananda responds, 'That will be terrible." The episode breaks away from the typical image of law enforcement interviews. It is casual, open and full ofhumour. Kamath also visits the city's police control room in the teaser. He even quizzes the officers on whether they have seen the Kannada blockbuster KGF. Known for hosting unfiltered and engaging conversations, Kamath brings a refreshing take with this episode. Instead of just talking about rules and regulations, the discussion touches on the human side of policing asking questions such as what the job is like, how the officers deal with the stress and what they enjoy when they are off duty. The Bengaluru Police shared the teaser on their official X handle and wrote, 'Two senior officers. One curious host. An unforgettable exchange. This podcast is a mix of humour, honesty, and the daily hustle of keeping Namma Bengaluru in order. From managing chaos to candid chats—you won't want to miss this one!" Watch the teaser here: Viewers on social media were quick to react. Many praised the initiative and said they were looking forward to the full episode. One user commented, 'Excellent. Looking forward to hearing this." Another wrote, 'Waiting for this episode," while a person expressed, 'Wow, this is a fantastic initiative—kudos! What we need are healthy, non-biased, open conversations—not monologues. Engage and evolve together!" B Dayananda, who became Commissioner of Police in May 2023, is known for his tech-savvy approach to policing. During his earlier posting in Dakshina Kannada, he created one of the world's first police blogs to promote transparency. On the other hand, MN Anucheth, a 2009 batch IPS officer, currently heads the city's traffic department. He has worked as Deputy Commissioner in areas like Whitefield, Central and West Bengaluru.

Bengaluru Valet Crashes Mercedes-Benz EQE In Attempt To Make Reel: Video
Bengaluru has become the centre of attention after an incident involving a restaurant valet driver, who crashed a Mercedes-Benz EQE worth over Rs 1.41 crore (ex-showroom). The incident occurred while the accused was reportedly trying to create social media content. Based on reports, the incident occurred on February 26, 2025, in Marathahalli. The incident was reported by the EQE's owner, Divya Chhabra, who handed over her keys to an attendant at a restaurant, only to find out her car had smashed into the basement wall. She alleged that the restaurant staff had cleared out the debris before the family had a chance to inspect the scene. Also Read: Reports suggest that initially, the incident was dismissed as a routine parking mishap. However, CCTV footage revealed that three different valets took turns to drive the electric vehicle before it crashed in the basement while filming a video. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Namma Bengaluru (@nammabengaluroo) The owner of the vehicle also claimed that the person behind the wheel at the time of the accident had a fake driving license. Furthermore, the other valet involved in the incident didn't have a driving license. Reports suggest, insurance investigators have verified these discoveries and are said to have retrieved the video footage the men captured. One valet reportedly confessed that this was a usual occurrence, taking luxury cars for joyrides to produce content for social media. It is to be noted that the Mercedes-Benz EQE is one of the most expensive SUVs sold by the brand in the Indian market without a Maybach or AMG badge. It comes at a starting price of Rs 1.41 crore, following only the electric G-Class (worth Rs 3 crore) in terms of price.
