Mangaluru, May 2: The Akhila Bharata Beary Parishad has taken the initiative to prevent some youths of Muslim community from being influenced by dreaded terror outfit ‘Islamic State’ (IS) which carries out anti-Islamic activities in the name of Islam and Muslims.

Speaking to media persons Parishad president B A Mohammed Haneef said that the organization will hold programmes in masjids and during other social congregations to create awareness among youths against the IS.

He said that terrorist groups such as IS were bringing a bad name to Muslim community by indulging in suicide bombing and other terrorist acts in India and Sri Lanka. Such groups were acting against the ethos of Islam that preaches harmonious living, he said.

Mr Haneef said that the parishad will involve religious heads in holding programmes to make youth aware of the intentions of IS. “We will make our efforts to prevent our youths from falling prey to ‘discourses’ by people working for IS,” he said. The parishad will strongly oppose “extremist groups that come against the traditional food of Muslims,” he said.

Mangaluru, Dec 7: A 34-year-old fruit and vegetable trader in Mangaluru has reportedly lost ₹33.1 lakh after falling victim to an online investment scam run through a fake mobile app.

Police said the scam began in September, when the victim received a link on Facebook. Clicking it connected him to a WhatsApp number, where an unidentified person introduced a high-return investment scheme and instructed him to download an app.

To build trust, the fraudster asked him to invest ₹30,000 on September 24. The trader soon received ₹34,000 as “profit,” convincing him the scheme was genuine. Over the next two months, he transferred money in multiple instalments via Google Pay and IMPS to different scanner codes and bank accounts shared by the scammers. Between September 24 and December 3, he ended up sending a total of ₹33.1 lakh.

When he later requested a refund of his investment and promised returns, the scammers demanded additional payments, claiming he needed to pay a “service tax” first. Even after he paid a small amount, no money was returned, and the scammers continued pressuring him for more.

A case has been registered at the CEN Crime Police Station.
