Bengaluru, Aug 20: Kannada actor Sanjjanaa Galrani is among many investors said to be duped by Prasiddhi Chit Funds Pvt Ltd in Malleswaram.

The company is accused of duping investors of Rs 1.3 crore. Sanjjanaa alone is said to have been cheated of Rs 28 lakh. Based on her complaint, the Malleswaram police registered an FIR against the owner of the chit fund on Saturday. Police believe the amount could go up.

Sanjjanaa stated that she had been investing a sum every month in the chit fund for the past several years. The company's staff stopped collecting the money in June. The actor sent her staff to make enquiries and was shocked to learn that the company's office was locked and that its owner, identified as Mahesh, was missing. Numerous other people, too, have lost their hard-earned money, she said in the complaint.

A case of cheating has been registered.

Mangaluru: Police Commissioner Sudheer Kumar Reddy C H has warned of strict action against individuals spreading rumours and attempting to create insecurity within the Muslim community and fuel hatred between Hindus and Muslims through social media.

Referring to a recent social media post alleging that police personnel had entered a masjid premises to check whether beef was being cooked, the commissioner said miscreants were attempting to push their communal agenda.

“A group of people, both from Mangaluru and abroad, are trying hard to spread rumours. For the past 10 days, they have been attempting to rake up old issues, highlight routine matters as controversies, or fabricate news altogether,” he said.

He reiterated that any such attempts to disturb communal harmony would invite legal action. “Cases will be registered and the accused will be brought to book,” he stated.
