Udupi, Jun 21: Anupama Shenoy, who stirred a hornet's nest by resigning as Deputy Superintendent of Police and blaming senior officers and PT Parameshwar Naik, the then district in-charge Minister, has continued to give confusing statements.

The former cop, who had once claimed that her Facebook account might have been hacked by someone, on Monday, said that there are no rules against posting opinions on Facebook. “There is also the question of how private posts are getting leaked,” she said, without making claims that the posts were put up by her.

Speaking to media persons at Uchila in Udupi district recently she said that she had written to the Karnataka State Commission for Women (KSCW) on how she was “harassed, almost daily” within the department.

Ms. Shenoy said her problems started in January 2016. She alleged she was assigned duties that disregarded the model code of conduct in force for the zilla and taluk panchayat elections.

Ms. Shenoy said there were “memos being issued against her for almost everything” by the department, with politicians conspiring against her. She said she had given full details on all these matters in her letter to the chairperson of the KSCW, Manjula Manasa.

She said procedures were being “twisted” by the senior officers for their own ends. She did not rule out the possibility of approaching the courts or the Karnataka Administrative Tribunal in this regard.

Asked about her future plans, Ms. Shenoy said she had served as a lecturer at St Aloysius College for two years and worked in a NGO for three years before joining the department. She would either become a lecturer or work in an NGO outside the State, far from the media glare, she said.

Mangaluru, Dec 20: City Police Commissioner Sudheer Kumar Reddy has issued a high-alert warning to vehicle owners regarding a surge in cyber fraud targeting those looking to pay traffic violation fines. Fraudsters are reportedly exploiting recent government discount schemes on traffic penalties to deceive citizens.

The Scam: How Fraudsters Strike

Criminals are using SMS, WhatsApp, and social media to circulate suspicious links and APK files (Android application packages). They claim these apps allow users to pay e-challans at a discount.

•    Device Hacking: Downloading these unauthorized apps gives hackers full access to the victim's smartphone.

•    Financial Theft: Once the phone is compromised, fraudsters intercept OTPs and personal data to drain bank accounts.

•    Phishing Sites: Fake websites mimicking official portals are also being used to harvest banking credentials.

Already, two residents within Mangaluru city limits have reported significant financial losses after falling victim to these fraudulent apps.

Mangaluru police have arrested a 27-year-old NRI on his return from Saudi Arabia in connection with an Instagram post allegedly containing derogatory and provocative remarks about the Hindu religion, officials said on Monday.

The accused, Abdul Khader Nehad, a resident of Ulaibettu in Mangaluru, was working in Saudi Arabia when the post was uploaded, police said.

A suo motu case was registered at the Bajpe police station on October 11 after an allegedly offensive post circulated from the Instagram account ‘team_sdpi_2025’. Police said the content was flagged for being provocative and derogatory in nature.

During the investigation, technical analysis traced the Instagram post to Nehad, who was residing abroad at the time, a senior police officer said. Based on these findings, a Look Out Circular (LOC) was issued against him.

On December 14, Nehad arrived from Saudi Arabia at Calicut International Airport in Kerala, where he was taken into custody on arrival. Police said further investigation is underway.
