Bengaluru: Nov 18: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Friday said that the Opposition BJP did not have the moral right to demand the resignation of Primary and Secondary Education Minister Tanveer Sait, who was caught on camera flipping through sleazy pictures on his mobile phone during a public function at Raichur, recently.
He said he had asked the cyber wing of the CID to look into the charges against the minister. “The government will take the appropriate decision based on the report.”
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.
