In a serious allegation, BJP leader and Udupi-Chikkamagaluru MP Shobha Karandlaje claimed in Lok Sabha that coastal regions of Karnataka and Kerala have become a hotbed of ‘jihadi activities’ and raised the issue of killings of so called Hindutva activists in Karnataka.

Raising the issue during zero hour, Shobha said ‘20 Hindu activists’ of the RSS and BJP had been killed in Karnataka. “Coastal Karnataka and coastal Kerala have become a hotbed of jihadi activities.  International terrorist Yasin Bhatkal and several of his accomplices have been arrested from coastal region of Kerala and Karnataka. Now, the jihadi forces are killing Hindu activists in large numbers," she told the House.

She also had a brief exchange of words with some CPI (M) members. Shobha referred to the arrest of Popular Front of India activists in connection with the murder of RSS worker Rudresh. She also blamed PFI and SDPI for the death of young fisherman Paresh Mesta at Honnavar in Uttara Kannada district.

She also demanded a National Investigation Agency enquiry into the killings of Hindutva workers in Karnataka during Congress rule.

Does people select this waste Shoba only for lying and spitting venum of hate.  Its shame that people elected such a lady who is a agent of sangh parivar and taking care of creating disturbance and riot in coastal karnataka.   Coastal karnataka is not a hub for jihadis as no jihadi is there but hub for sanghi terrorists who are financed by nagpur based terror group and supported by people like kalla bhatta.   She should be deprived of her seat and HC should strip her of this position as she is not representing people but representing sangh parivar goondas.   She is the main person behind riots and property loss in uttar Kannada dist.  HC should order for confiscating her property worth crores of rupees int he form of estates/ bungalows/ shopping arcades etc etc.  and distribute among the poeple who lost their homes + businesses.

Mangaluru: In a significant step to curb online hate and intimidation, Mangaluru City Police have registered a suo motu case against multiple Instagram accounts accused of circulating alleged provocative and threatening content.

While monitoring social media activity on Tuesday, Kankanady Town PSI Anitha Nikkam identified the Instagram handle ‘team_targetttt_900’ for posting a hate message alongside images of lethal weapons. Another account, ‘team_nagara_900’, allegedly shared a threatening post targeting activist Bharath Kumdelu, tagging additional pages such as KARAVALI-OFFICIAL.

Several other accounts — including ‘immu_bhai.fan’, ‘target_boy_900’, ‘kings_of_manglore’, ‘team_target_boys.900’, ‘arshad_mangalore’, ‘target_ka19_ullal’, ‘team_target__’, ‘troll_tigersz_900’, ‘tr_group_900’, and ‘team_target_900’ — are also under scrutiny for spreading similar inflammatory material, police said.

Authorities have urged citizens, especially young social media users, to report suspicious pages and avoid engaging with groups that glorify violence or threaten individuals. Online hate can quickly escalate into real-world harm, and police stress that sharing or promoting such content can attract legal consequences.

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.
