According to the police, the incident took place in Sharifana Nagar area of Yashwanthpur here on Monday night.
A purported video of the incident has also surfaced, in which the youngsters can be seen dressed as ghosts, wearing masks and clothes with blood-like stains, and scaring people on the road.
