Mysuru, Aug 25: Accusing the members of Popular Front of India (PFI) of indulging in anti-social asocial activities, Mysuru MP?Pratap Simha has urged the Karnataka government to ban the organization and arrest its leaders.

Speaking to media persons here on Wednesday, he said that the Karnataka state is turning into a safe haven for terrorists and the police must arrest the culprits. He said, he was also threatened and attacked several times.

“The government should immediately ban organizations like PFI and Karnataka Forum for Dignity in order to maintain peace and harmony in the society,” he said.

The BJP leader said that a group of powerful' people are inciting the anti-social elements to disturb peace in the city of Mysuru. “As Dasara is nearing, lakhs of people visit the city and culprits may indulge in violence. The police department, which has details about the miscreants, should arrest the anti-social elements,” he said.

Pointing at the murder of RSS?worker K?Raju in Udayagiri, under Narasimha Raja Assembly constituency, the MP?said, a majority of anti-social elements live in the constituency. He congratulated the city police and Commissioner B?Dayananda for the arrest of Abid Pasha, the prime accused in the murder case of Raju.

“The accused had criminal background and he was involved in other murders and crimes in parts of the state. Pasha had targeted a few other dignitaries. There are a few powerful people behind him (Pasha) and other anti-social elements,” Simha said.

Simha reiterated that Raju was killed as he was opposing a mosque in his locality, Kyathamaranahalli. “The area was residential and a few Muslim people were planning to construct a mosque, illegally. Though the dispute was taken to the then Deputy Commissioner C?Shikha, the district administration did not take any measure to solve it. Now, if any untoward incident happens, the district administration will be held responsible,” the MP?warned.

Taking a dig at Tanveer Sait, who represents NR?constituency, for the untoward incident. “Instead of condemning the murder of Raju, Sait had said that Raju was a rowdy-sheeter. Now, the state government has rewarded him with a ministership. The government has lost sensitivity and Chief Minister Siddaramaiah is treating the Opposition party as his enemy,” said the MP.

It was during the time of 1998 i remember many innocent Muslims were killed in anti muslim riots across mangalore at that time there were no organisation came forward to resist against the rioters only all believed in police, administration and the so called Secular political party leaders, but no one came for saving the lives of innocent people. Alhumdulillah today because of some muslim group's efforts and continues resistance communal riots reduced drastically.!!!

Mr.Pratap
Couple of days back members of one of the famous terrorist organisation i.e Bajarangdal and VHP murdered Praveen poojary in the name of GOW rakhshaks. Where were you that time??? Why didn't you make any press conference and tell government to Ban BD & VHP.
My suggestion is to you that if government of India BAN BD,RSS,VHP,RS then automatically peace will establish.

So PFI on right track. Chances of BJP and chaddi parivaar are minimizing to create communal violence and violation of harmony in State.
So finally this Simha accepted that PFI is the big threat of BJP and Chaddi parivaar.

The person who belongs to terrorist group is speaking about terror... good joke...

NO PFI or KFD person caught in terror attack but its clear that RSS & BJP workers caught in so many terror attack in India & preparing bomb, explosives.... RSS is taking our India to terror hub & spoiling harmony among people.....

public should unite against such organisation & stop electing person as our representative who spread hatred among communities... Government should arrest all RSS chaddis who are involved in illegal activities & hang them....

Your sanghi's atrocities have grown uncontrolled. You people are imposing your lifestyle on others.
These groups are formed too defend victims of your atrocities they are doing good job in helping all needy hands.

First of all your dirty mined groups should be eliminated.

Mangaluru: Chaos erupted at Mangaluru International Airport (MIA) after IndiGo flight 6E 5150, bound for Mumbai, was repeatedly delayed and ultimately cancelled, leaving around 100 passengers stranded overnight. The incident highlights the ongoing country-wide operational disruptions affecting the airline, largely due to the implementation of new Flight Duty Time Limitations (FDTL) norms for crew.

The flight was initially scheduled for 9:25 PM on Tuesday but was first postponed to 11:40 PM, then midnight, before being cancelled around 3:00 AM. Passengers expressed frustration over last-minute communication and the lack of clarity, with elderly and ailing travellers particularly affected. “Though the airline arranged food, there was no proper communication, leaving us confused,” said one family member.

An IndiGo executive at MIA cited the FDTL rules, designed to prevent pilot fatigue by limiting crew working hours, as the cause of the cancellation. While alternative arrangements, including hotel stays, were offered, about 100 passengers chose to remain at the airport, creating tension. A replacement flight was arranged but also faced delays due to the same constraints, finally departing for Mumbai around 1:45 PM on Wednesday. Passengers either flew, requested refunds, or postponed their travel.

The Mangaluru delay is part of a broader crisis for IndiGo. The airline has been forced to make “calibrated schedule adjustments”—a euphemism for widespread cancellations and delays—after stricter FDTL norms came into effect on November 1.

While an IndiGo spokesperson acknowledged unavoidable flight disruptions due to technology issues, operational requirements, and the updated crew rostering rules, the DGCA has intervened, summoning senior airline officials to explain the chaos and outline corrective measures.

The ripple effect has been felt across the country, with major hubs like Bengaluru and Mumbai reporting numerous cancellations. The Mangaluru incident underscores the systemic operational strain currently confronting India’s largest carrier, leaving passengers nationwide grappling with uncertainty and delays.

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.
