Installation of CCTV camera at Madrasa building irks local residents

May 1, 2015

Mangaluru, May 1: A tense situation prevailed in Subhash Nagar village near Thokkottu on the outskirts of Mangaluru city when local residents began to protest against the installation of a CCTV camera atop a madrasa building.

Around four CCTV cameras were installed atop Anjuman Mablagul Falah madrasa building in Subash Nagar residential area on Thursday evening.

A few local residents began to accuse that among the four, two CCTV cameras were installed in a way that they covered residences situated behind the madrasa building. They staged a protest against the CCTV cameras claiming that they would invade the privacy of the residents and demanded their immediate removal. As a result, a tense situation prevailed for some time.

Soon after, assistant police sub-inspector Kalyani Shetty, Ullal station inspector Savitru Teja and Ullal SI Bharathi arrived at the scene and tried to calm the protestors stating that they could not take immediate action in the absence of an Imam from the madrasa.

The protesters argued with the police saying that madrasa management is capturing the movements of local women residents through CCTV camera. When the police examined the video footage of all the CCTV cameras installed at the building, the allegations of local residents were proved to be false.

However, the locals remained adamant and urged the removal of the two CCTV cameras in spite of assurances that the residents' privacy would not be affected. They dispersed only after assurances from the authorities that the cameras would be removed from the madrasa within a couple of days.

Karnataka State Reserve Police and Ullal police personnel provided security on the occasion.

Udupi NRI duped of Rs 12.25 lakh in Telegram investment scam

News Network

December 4,2025

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.
