Bengaluru: The city police have filed suo motu cases against trucks dumping garbage onto the lake bed in Anugondanahalli village at the outskirts of Southeast Bengaluru. 

The police said that the garbage was thrown at Medimallasandra lake bed for the past four to five months

“As residents are not coming forward to lodge complaints fearing the garbage mafia, we have taken suo-motu complaints to curb this menace,” said a senior police officer. 

The police have registered two cases against the owners of three trucks, who are garbage contractors in the city, and their drivers. Receiving complaints from nearby residents that trucks loaded with garbage 
moved towards the lake at different times, the police confronted them in the act and seized the vehicles along with the leftover garbage.
