Bengaluru: Security was on Tuesday heightened at various areas in Karnataka after a man refused to undergo a security check at one of the metro stations in Bengaluru and fled from the spot.

As per the CCTV footage accessed by Times Now, a security guard was checking the man with a hand-held metal detector when the machine started beeping.

When the security guard tried to question the man, he turned and walked away rather than revealing the object which had triggered the beep.

The incident occurred at Majestic Metro Station at around 7:30 pm on Monday.

The Bengaluru police officials, including the deputy commissioner of police, and internal security division personnel have visited the spot and taken all the details.

Meanwhile, security has been intensified at various spots. An additional police force has been deployed at the stations across Bengaluru.

Police have assured that there is no reason to worry but a hunt is on for the man to ensure that there is no untoward incident.
