Benedict moved to Bengaluru towards the end of 2011. As he began to cycle to work every day, he found that he ended up with a flat tyre way too often.

That a puncture repair shop was always available just a stone’s throw away was something that he was initially grateful for. But he soon saw a pattern to the whole fiasco, a coincidence that he could no longer overlook.

A suspiciously high number of nails were found near make-shift puncture shops on the roadside. He began to "fish out" a minimum of 15 nails each day, especially from the HSR-BDA Bridge.

When his conscience could no longer ignore this crime that continued to unfold daily before his eyes, Benedict decided that it was time for him to act. In 2015, Benedict started a Facebook page called "My Road, My Responsibility," and began to regularly post images of his day's "collection."

Every morning around 7 am, Benedict leaves home on his cycle or bike and spends at least two hours "fishing for iron nails."
