Bengaluru, Jan 20: Unidentified thieves decamped with 19 kg of gold biscuits of a passenger on board the Kurla Express, heading towards Bengaluru.

Mumbai-based businessman Rijoy, who works with a private gold company, was on his way to the city carrying gold biscuits in a suitcase. Around midnight when he was asleep with the bag next to him, his bag was stolen, he told the police.

The victim claims that theft took place near Hindupur station, but admitted that he realised his bag was missing only later.

As soon as he got down on Friday in Bengaluru, he lodged a complaint with the Cantonment Railway Police.

City police officials have gotten in touch with their counterparts in Mumbai and Hindupur in an effort to identify the thieves. A case of robbery has been registered with the Cantonment Railway Police, but will be transferred to Hindupur police station, said officials.

If it is earned in a proper way, it must go.. If it is proper then he may get back also.

Fool.. How he can go alseep while having this much gold.

Atleast he would have take another man (relative or brother) with him. He took too risky decision by going alone with this much gold

Somebody, who knows this cheated him. Otherwise no option to get that confidential information

How comes that much gold biscuits with that man...!

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.
