Dakshina Kannada MP Nalin Kumar Kateel, district BJP president Sanjeeva Mathandur and former MLC Monappa Bhandary were among those who were detained by the police in front of Zilla Panchayat office. However, all of them were released later.

It is learnt that the agitators raised provocative slogans when the Tipu Jayanti celebration commenced at the Netravati hall of Zilla Panchayat. The protest was staged illegally in spite of permission denial by the police.

In fact the administration the district administration has clamped prohibitory orders under section 144?CrPC for four days from November 9 to 12.

Prior to detention, Mr Kateel came down heavily on the State government for celebrating the birth anniversary of Tipu Sultan despite the stiff opposition from BJP. Tipu was “anti-Hindu” and had destroyed temples, Mr Kateel said, adding that he had waged a war against the British just to save his throne. More details awaited.

Kateel is a elected Member of Parliament. He should keep it in mind that all community from his constituency voted for his current position.

Why police released all of this Gundas. Police should have done lati charge and put all of them behind bar under gunda act. Instead of carrying them like babies police could have beaten them with lati. Because of these anti national elements ad terrorists our india is in danger. Please punish them all including our useless MP.

Mangaluru, Dec 15: Air India Express has announced that it will resume direct flight services between Mangaluru and Muscat from March 2026, restoring an important international air link for passengers from the coastal region.

Airport authorities said the service will operate twice a week—on Sundays and Tuesdays—from March 1. The initial flights are scheduled on March 3, 8 and 10, followed by March 15 and 17, with the same operating pattern to continue thereafter. The flight duration is approximately three hours and 25 minutes.

The Mangaluru–Muscat route was earlier operated under the 2025 summer schedule, with services beginning on July 14. At that time, Air India Express had operated four flights a week before suspending the service.

Officials said the summer schedule will come into effect from March 29, after which changes in flight timings and departure schedules from Mangaluru are expected. Passengers have been advised to check the latest schedules while planning their travel.

The resumption of direct flights to Muscat is expected to significantly benefit expatriates, business travellers and others, further strengthening Mangaluru’s air connectivity with the Gulf region.

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.
