I was in bangalore last year. I was walking with a lady friend in a public place , and a cop comes out of somewhere, and tries to make a fuss, about who we are and what we are doing, where is identification etc. (are they even allowed to ask for identification in india?? because as far as i know the law does not make it mandatory to carry identification....).
I let him talk for five minutes, and then i just shouted back at him (with a few religious epithets and he was partially out of uniform), very loudly and he seemed to panic and left immediately . I went to many other places and didnt have such problems....maybe its a part of the general xenophobia in bangalore....?
