Mangaluru, Nov 30: Accusing the police department of exhibiting anti-Muslim bias, Popular Front of India has questioned the credibility of the lists of most wanted criminals prepared by police in Mangaluru and other parts of Dakshina Kannada district as they contain maximumMuslim' names.

The grave allegation was made by a speaker at a protest meet organised by the PFI in front of the office of Deputy Commissioner, here on Wednesday, to exert pressure on the government to nab the “masterminds” behind the murder of Mustafa Kavoor in Mysuru jail and provide Rs 50 lakh compensation to his kin.

Mustafa's brother Thwaha Ibrahim and a few relatives also attended the protest meet. As the number of agitators began to mount a mild tension prevailed in the area. However, the police managed to bring the situation under control.

Addressing the protesters Ilyas Mohammed Thumbay, National General Secretary of SDPI, said that the police department has failed to be impartial while dealing with criminals.

“They have released the lists of most wanted criminals that contain only Muslim names. For them, miscreants and anti-social elements belonging to Sangh Parivar are not most wanted criminals,” he complained and questioning why do the names of Sangh Parivar leaders like Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat and Jagadish Karanth never appear on the lists of most wanted criminals in spite of the fact that such speakers played major role in creating communal unrest in the coastal Karnataka.

He said that even though Mustafa was murdered by a criminal called Kiran Shetty inside the prison, the conspiracy was hatched by Sangh Parivar leaders. Recalling the veiled threats issued by Bajrang Dal leader Sharan Pumpwell against the accused in Moodbidri Prashant Poojary murder case, Mr Thumbey said that the probe into Mustafa murder case will not be completed until the police arrest Mr Pumpwell.

Farooq, Mysuru district president of PFI, went on to claim that Mysuru-Kodagu MP Pratap Simha's hand in the murder case cannot be ruled out as the latter had paid many visits to the prison before Mustafa was hacked to death on November 10.

Shafi Bellare, Karnataka State secretary of PFI also spoke and demanded the government to give justice to the family of Mustafa. Haneef Katipalla, DK district president of PFI welcomed. Shareef proposed vote of thanks while Ashraf AK Moideen compered.

All the attacks that cheddis do is like COWARDS...
They either attack from behind or with deception...

Anyway We MuSlims believe in the day of JUDGEMENT where CRIMINALS will not escape in court of the CREATOR who give LIFE and DEATH> No cheddis can play their game of deception on that day.

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 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.

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.
