There are many families suffering from this cheddi ideology
Im talking about our own hindu families
Y create tension in the society
Y cant the honest people support the police authority in groups to protect our society.
We need honest hindus to speak openly on the attrocites which is caused by these young BD guys. Honest hindus who love peace should come forward and speak openly like the sankarachariyas do...

We saw many cases where children kill the mothers .
Wife and son kill the father... not realising their existence was from them in the first place.
Y cant these BD, VHP guys be active in giving awareness on such issues to prevent more losses, infighting and suicides rather than creating evil in the society.

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.
