Mangaluru, Jan 4: In a serious allegation, BJP state president B S Yeddyurappa has accused a senior Congress leader and state minister of having a hand in the murder of Deepak Rao, who hacked to death by miscreants at Katipalla in Mangaluru yesterday.

Addressing a press meet before the Parivartana Yatre on Thursday in Ballari, the former chief minister held Dakshina Kannada district in-charge minister B Ramanath Rai completely responsible for all the murders and untoward incidents in the coastal district. He went on to claim that Rai has hand in Rao’s cold blooded murder.

Yeddyurappa pointed out that the law and order situation in the state had worsened. "Hindu activists are being murdered in the state as in Kerala. We will soon discuss this issue and act on it," he said.

He said the party had shortlisted 100 candidates for the upcoming polls after discussions with local leaders.

Either one of this leader is criminal? If we believe what Mr Yeddy said and he has proof then he should prove and put mr Ramanath Rai behind Bars. If he cannot then mr ramanat rai should put defemation case on him just like Mr arun jetly has put on Mr keriwal and one of his suppoter has put on Mr Rahul Gandhi. If Mr yeddy is telling lie then he is playing with sentiments of people in the state.

MR yeddyrappa unsound per son please join him special school...

Really sad, There can be only blame game in this country. youth is killed nobody bothered. All the groups can do strike, call for bandh. nobody is bothered to help the family or the Government in finding the culprit. Law will take its course of action. Blocking the group & creating problem for public will not help. Wait for the verdict. Forget everything & anything, there is no value for life in this world. Killing has become common & easy in this world. May Almighty protect all of us.

Keeping quiet with out taking action is like indirect support, for the sake of votes, this fellow and that tall chrstn actor pksrairaj, ar eboth irresponsible

‘Profit’ trap: Mangaluru trader duped of ₹33.1 lakh in online App scam

News Network

December 7,2025

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.
