January 26, 2016

Mangaluru, Jan 26: A 31-year-old resident of Puttur taluk, who had cheated his girl friend after promising marriage, has been convicted of rape by a local court.

The 6th Additional District and Sessions Court on Monday found Shashi (31) of Narimogaru village in Puttur guilty of sexually assaulting a 22-year-old woman after promising to marry her.

According to the charge sheet filed by Kadaba police, Shashi went to the house of the woman and raped her after promising to marry her on May 19, 2014.

Neighbours aware of the incident, called the woman’s brother, who was away from home. Before he could reach the house, Shashi and the woman managed to run away.

The duo went to the house of Shashi’s relative in Subramanya, but they were refused shelter. The two then went to Puttur where Shashi approached an organisation that agreed to conduct the marriage.

While the woman reported for the ceremony, Shashi left Puttur, allegedly with the help of his friends, Vishwanath and Mahesha.

On the complaint filed by the woman on May 24, the Kadaba police arrested Shashi, Vishwanath and Mahesha the next day.

Judge D.T. Puttaranagaswamy convicted Shashi under Sections 376 (sexual assault) and 417 (cheating) of the Indian Penal Code. Vishwanath and Mahesha were acquitted. The case has been posted to Wednesday for hearing on the sentence.

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.
