Mysuru, Sept 5: Kannada writer and Hindutva advocate S L Bhyrappa has demanded direct flight from Mysuru to Mangaluru and Hubballi instead of flight service between Mysuru and Bengaluru.

Speaking at the launch of 'You Cannot Miss This Flight', essays on Emerging India, organised by Mysuru Literary Forum Charitable Trust Book Clubs and Harper Collins Publishers at a private hotel, here he said that will not prefer to take a flight from Mysuru to Bengaluru as the travelling time from airports to the cities are more

"People, who developed flights between Mysuru and Bengaluru are fools. Mysuru Airport is far from the city and nearer to Nanjangud. Similarly, Bengaluru Airport is in Devanahalli and no one will take flight from Mysuru to Bengaluru as the travelling time from airports to cities is more," he said.

Suggesting that flights must be introduced between Mysuru and Mangaluru or Hubballi, Bhyrappa said, road connectivity between Mysuru and Mangaluru is not good.

"The officials should guide the politicians in policy matters but, in India, the officials are not working properly. Majority of the politicians are not intelligent and need guidance. Though Prime Minister Narendra Modi is better compared to others, the officials failed to implement various programmes introduced by the PM," Bhyrappa said.

Udupi: A 40-year-old NRI from Udupi has reportedly lost more than Rs 12.25 lakh in an online investment scam operated through Telegram.

According to a complaint filed at the CEN police station, Leo Jerome Mendonsa, who has been working in Dubai for the past 15 years in computer accessories sales, maintains NRI accounts in Karkala and Nitte.

On November 12, 2025, Mendonsa was added to a Telegram group called Instaflow Earnings by unknown individuals. Users identified as Priya and Dipannita persuaded him to invest in “Revenue Tasks.” Initially, Mendonsa transferred Rs 1,100 multiple times and received the promised returns, encouraging him to continue.

On November 14, another user, Nishmitha Shetty, directed him to register on a website, digitvisionuoce.cc, and invest Rs 4 lakh in various shares. Over the next few days, he made multiple transfers totaling Rs 12,25,000, including Rs 50,000 via Google Pay, believing the scheme was legitimate.

After receiving the money, the alleged handlers stopped responding, and neither the invested amount nor the promised profits were returned.

The CEN police have registered a case under Sections 66(C) and 66(D) of the IT Act and Section 318(4) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), and investigations are ongoing.

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.
