The bank manager stayed in an apartment in a residential complex in Mannagudde area in the city. According to him, Shilpa, who had vacated the complex a few weeks ago, called him on September 17 seeking his help to train her relative Trupti in a banking entrance examination. When he asked Shilpa to send Trupti to the bank, Shilpa said that she will send Trupti to his house during the lunch time.

Trupti came to the bank manager's house around 1 p.m. Ten minutes into the conversation, a group of six men trooped into his house and locked the door. They forced him to pose with Trupti and took photographs and recorded a video.

They demanded money from him stating that they would releasing the photographs and video if he did not comply with their demand. They forced him to sign on two cheque leaves and snatched Rs. 2,500 in cash from him. They went away with the documents of manager's motorcycle.

The perpetrators called him once again a few days later and demanded more money. The manager refused to give them money and said that he would report them to the police. The perpetrators then did not call him. The bank manager went to the Barke police station in the city and lodged a complaint.

A special team managed to arrest the six men and Trupti. Action is yet to be taken against Shilpa, who is in a private hospital following fracture in her leg.

Assistant Commissioner of Police Uday Nayak said that accused Srijit was involved in a case of chain snatching in Talapady, a mobile theft case in Ullal and a case of theft in Bunder. The other accused did not have any past record of involvement in any crime. The police have registered a case of dacoity against the accused, Mr. Nayak said.

In Mangalore this type of people you can find easily. Honey trapping is easy way to make money. This time bank Manager was lucky because he informed police . They can't encashment of cheque easily as manager can block his transaction. Young people don't want to work and spoiling life for nothing. In future they has run court several years for nothing, Need to spend money for Lawyer and Big Shame to family members.Parents should guide their children in a good way. Need to monitor their activities and friends circle. Sahavasa dosha Maga ketta

Udupi: Udupi became the second city on the Karnataka coast after Mangaluru to launch water rationing, a senior official said on Tuesday.

Commissioner of the Udupi City Municipal Corporation Rayappa said that the rationing system will come into force from Wednesday and will continue till the water in the reservoir reaches comfortable levels.

The dam built across the Swarna river at a place called Baje, which is the only source of water for Udupi city, recorded 3.25 meters of water as against the top level of 6.30 meters.

The decision of water rationing will be reviewed periodically until the reservoir regains its fullest levels, the official said.

The Mangaluru City Corporation resorted to water rationing on Saturday following declining water levels in the reservoir built across the Nethravati river at Thumbe.

Karnataka: BJP leader and advocate G Devaraje Gowda was arrested in connection with a sex abuse video allegedly belonging to Hassan JD(S) MP Prajwal Revanna.

According to police, Devaraje Gowda was arrested at Gulihal tollgate by the Hiriyur police in this district on Friday night for leaking the video in a pen drive.

He was arrested on a tip-off received by the Hassan police, which wanted his presence for the case.

Several explicit videos involving Prajwal started making the rounds ahead of the first phase of Lok Sabha elections in Karnataka, which took place on April 26.

The MP, a grandson of former prime minister H D Deve Gowda, is absconding and a 'blue corner' notice has been issued against him by Interpol.

Three FIRs, including charges of rape, molestation, intimidation, blackmailing and threatening, have been registered against Prajwal.

Devaraje Gowda is accused of leaking these videos, which he has categorically rejected.

He contested in the 2023 Assembly elections against JD(S) MLA from Holenarasipura H D Revanna.

H D Revanna, father of Prajwal, is at present in jail on charges of kidnapping a woman, a mother of three.

Ahead of polls, Devaraje Gowda had warned BJP’s central leadership against backing Prajwal Revanna and brought his sex scandal to light.

Mangaluru: A native of Kerala was arrested on charge of misbehaving with crew on an Air India Express flight while travelling from Dubai to Mangaluru International Airport. The man even threatened to jump from the aircraft, according to officials. 

Siddartha Das, the security coordinator for Air India Express, lodged a complaint against the passenger, identified as Muhammad BC from Kannur, Kerala, after which he was caught by the airport security once the flight landed at Mangaluru. He was later handed over to the police.

DCP (Law and Order) Sidharth Goyal said the incident occurred on Flight IX814 on May 8.

When the flight was above the sea, Muhammad reportedly said he wanted to get off the plane, posing a threat to all on board. The unruly flyer was detained by airport security once the flight landed at Mangaluru International Airport and he was handed over to Bajpe police station officials.

Sources added once the flight took off from Dubai, the accused went to the lavatory and thereafter started inquiring with the cabin crew about a person named Krishna who was not on the flight. Muhammad kept on pressing the bell for in-flight assistance, even though the cabin crew members were near at hand. He then picked up a life jacket, gave it to a crew member, and said he wanted to use it upon landing.
