Chandigarh, Oct 26: A 13-year old boy of class 7 of a government school in Chandigarh attempted to rape a class 1 student of the same school in the washroom, school authorities said.

The principal of the government school where the incident took place got the medical examination of the girl at the civil hospital after the victim’s parents brought the matter to the notice of the school authorities. According to the school principal, the girl studies in the evening school and had reached the school early that day since her parents had to go for work early.

A class VII student of the school followed her in the washroom where he attempted to rape her. The minor girl sustained injuries. The district education office was informed about the incident that took place on October 15 but came to light now after the parents decided to inform the school principal.

However, ironically, despite the school advising parents to register a police complaint in the case, the parents are so far reluctant to pursue the matter any further. Under the POCSO act, the police and the education authorities should inform the police about any such incident with 24-hours after coming to light.

Udupi: A 40-year-old NRI from Udupi has reportedly lost more than Rs 12.25 lakh in an online investment scam operated through Telegram.

According to a complaint filed at the CEN police station, Leo Jerome Mendonsa, who has been working in Dubai for the past 15 years in computer accessories sales, maintains NRI accounts in Karkala and Nitte.

On November 12, 2025, Mendonsa was added to a Telegram group called Instaflow Earnings by unknown individuals. Users identified as Priya and Dipannita persuaded him to invest in “Revenue Tasks.” Initially, Mendonsa transferred Rs 1,100 multiple times and received the promised returns, encouraging him to continue.

On November 14, another user, Nishmitha Shetty, directed him to register on a website, digitvisionuoce.cc, and invest Rs 4 lakh in various shares. Over the next few days, he made multiple transfers totaling Rs 12,25,000, including Rs 50,000 via Google Pay, believing the scheme was legitimate.

After receiving the money, the alleged handlers stopped responding, and neither the invested amount nor the promised profits were returned.

The CEN police have registered a case under Sections 66(C) and 66(D) of the IT Act and Section 318(4) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), and investigations are ongoing.
