Mr. HDK you are intentionally insulting Hindus.. crackers are part of our festival. should not ban even if it is for your programmes. Ban loud speakers permanently if you can. Then we can sleep peacefully without hearing loud noise from Mosques

Dear HDK sir, I cant wait for more.. being a fan of you i am waiting for the great moment. and you said the right thing.. Great decision sir.. wonderfull. hats off you sir for the good decision

If you are banning crackers should ban loud speakers also.

Ban plastic hoardings
Save environment.

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

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.
