March 15, 2016

Mysuru, Mar 15: Member of Parliament from Mysuru and Kodagu Prathap Simha, on Monday, said, the State government and district administration should be held responsible for the murder of Raju, near a tea shop on MG Road in Udayagiri by three bike-borne assailants, on Sunday evening.

MP Pratap Simha, MLA CT Ravi and others on Monday consoling the family members of Raju, a BJP worker who was hacked to death on Sunday, at Kyathamaranahalli  in Mysuru 

After a meeting with Deputy Commissioner C?Shikha and City Police Commissioner B?Dayananda at the Deputy Commissioner's office, here, Simha said, a disputed madrasa' claimed the life of Raju.

According to Simha, Muslims in Kyathamaranahalli have illegally built a madrasa on a disputed land, which is located next to Raju's house. Raju had been fighting legally to stop it. To take revenge, Raju has been murdered.

The dispute exists since 2009 and four persons have been killed for the same issue, he added.

“After the Congress party came to power in Karnataka, the State is competing with Kashmir, Bihar, and Uttar Pradesh in terms of violence. In the recent past, three pro-Hindu activists, including Raju, have been killed. Others are — Praveen Poojary in Moodabidri in Dakshina Kannada and Kuttappa in Kodagu,” Simha added.

“Chief Minister Siddaramaiah is protecting the culprits. Law and order has completely collapsed in the State because of the chief minister. Siddaramaiah is the chief minister for Ahinda and not of the State. But, he must understand that he is responsible for the welfare of all the people,” he said.

The MP?alleged, a majority of the people creating violence in the State belong to Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI).

“After the Congress came to power, the government has withdrawn cases that were booked against 1,500 SDPI members for causing violence,” he said.

Three demands

BJP?State unit General Secretary C T Ravi placed three demands before the district administration. He demanded the arrest of the assailants immediately, Rs 25 lakh compensation for Raju's family and a solution to the land issue.

“Even though the murder was brutal and created panic among Mysureans and the family members of Raju, no minister or Congress MLA is bothered to respond. None visited the family members. The land issue emerged in 2009 and four persons have been killed over it due to the negligence of the District Administration,” Ravi said.

Earlier, Simha and Ravi visited the family members of Raju and consoled them.

Mangaluru police have arrested a 27-year-old NRI on his return from Saudi Arabia in connection with an Instagram post allegedly containing derogatory and provocative remarks about the Hindu religion, officials said on Monday.

The accused, Abdul Khader Nehad, a resident of Ulaibettu in Mangaluru, was working in Saudi Arabia when the post was uploaded, police said.

A suo motu case was registered at the Bajpe police station on October 11 after an allegedly offensive post circulated from the Instagram account ‘team_sdpi_2025’. Police said the content was flagged for being provocative and derogatory in nature.

During the investigation, technical analysis traced the Instagram post to Nehad, who was residing abroad at the time, a senior police officer said. Based on these findings, a Look Out Circular (LOC) was issued against him.

On December 14, Nehad arrived from Saudi Arabia at Calicut International Airport in Kerala, where he was taken into custody on arrival. Police said further investigation is underway.

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.

Mangaluru: In a significant step to curb online hate and intimidation, Mangaluru City Police have registered a suo motu case against multiple Instagram accounts accused of circulating alleged provocative and threatening content.

While monitoring social media activity on Tuesday, Kankanady Town PSI Anitha Nikkam identified the Instagram handle ‘team_targetttt_900’ for posting a hate message alongside images of lethal weapons. Another account, ‘team_nagara_900’, allegedly shared a threatening post targeting activist Bharath Kumdelu, tagging additional pages such as KARAVALI-OFFICIAL.

Several other accounts — including ‘immu_bhai.fan’, ‘target_boy_900’, ‘kings_of_manglore’, ‘team_target_boys.900’, ‘arshad_mangalore’, ‘target_ka19_ullal’, ‘team_target__’, ‘troll_tigersz_900’, ‘tr_group_900’, and ‘team_target_900’ — are also under scrutiny for spreading similar inflammatory material, police said.

Authorities have urged citizens, especially young social media users, to report suspicious pages and avoid engaging with groups that glorify violence or threaten individuals. Online hate can quickly escalate into real-world harm, and police stress that sharing or promoting such content can attract legal consequences.
