Is this boy solely responsible for delay in SSLC results this year?

June 8, 2016

Mangaluru, Jun 8: Can a student be responsible for the delay in Karnataka SSLC results? If sources are to be believed, Ranjan BS from Bhadravati, who became the first student to score cent percent (625/625) in the history of Class 10 examinations in the state, was solely responsible for the unwarranted delay in announcement of results this time.

At a programme organised here recently to felicitate Mr Ranjan, recently, Manjunath Bhandary, the chairperson the Sahyadri College of Engineering and Management, revealed that the evaluation and re-evaluation of the perfect scorer's papers consumed more time.

Quoting Minister of State for Primary and Secondary Education Kimmane Rathnakar, Mr Bhandary said the announcement of SSLC results was delayed due to the Ranjan factor.

Just days before going public with SSLC results, the minister was informed that Ranjan from Bhadravati was the first ever student to score a perfect 625.

“The Minister in order to ensure that evaluation was foolproof to satisfy even RTI queries, had Ranjan's answer scripts re-evaluated by 20 teachers. And their verdicts were all unanimous that Ranjan deserves 625/625,” Bhandary said amidst thunderous applause. Thus the SSLC results were delayed, he added.

However, the Karnataka Secondary Education Examination Board (KSEEB), which conducts the exams, has given no explicit reason for the delay in results so far.

‘Profit’ trap: Mangaluru trader duped of ₹33.1 lakh in online App scam

News Network

December 7,2025

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.
