Trace the exact location of a bangalore ip address.?

You cannot trace an IP address back to a specific location. The IP address which you looked up traces back to Bangalore, but this does not mean that the person in question would be located there. For example, my IP address will trace back to Amsterdam, The Netherlands, however I am not located in Amsterdam or even close to Amsterdam. Only the country is correct in my case. With a dynamic IP address it would also be hard to trace back to a specific location, as today user one has this IP address, but tomorrow user two can have this IP address. Only the ISP in question can trace back an IP address to a specific location, using their log files to see to whom the IP address belonged at a certain time. An ISP however will only trace back a customer if a local law enforcement agency requests them to do so, based on a court order for example.
