The accused has been identified as Santosh Shetty Madavu, a local resident. Interestingly, he is said to be a member of Bajrang Dal, an organisation which is known for attacking non-Hindu men for being friendly with Hindu girls.

According to locals, Shetty used to follow women and pester them to provide their mobile numbers. He is also accused of trying to molest a college students.

Frustrated over his behaviour, residents of Bellare on Thursday thrashed him in public while a couple of onlookers videographed the entire episode on their mobile phones. A video clip in which Shetty is begging the local residents not to punish him is going viral on WhatsApp.

Shetty was then handed over to the Bellare police, who reportedly let him off with a warning.

The public should be united and treat such criminals.
Our Police and Justice system can not hand effectively because of loop holes in our Judicial system. we don't blame the officers, the law is very weak.

Whoever does such act specially molester of girls, should be punished regardless his religious background.

If the people work together unitedly, then can control without the help of police or court. The police can relax!!!!!

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.
