Mangaluru, Apr 2: A man escaped with minor injuries after his speeding car overturned and plunged off the road at Padavinangady in Mangaluru on Saturday morning.

It is learnt that the accident took place when the driver of the car, plying towards the city from Mangaluru International Airport, was trying to negotiate a curve at Padavinangady.

It is said that the driver, who was speaking on his mobile phone, couldn't notice a heavy vehicle coming from the opposition direction.

While negotiating the curve the driver turned his car to the extreme left to avoid collision. As a result, the car plunged off the road, over turned and landed in a ravine.

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.
