Mysuru, Oct 1: Veteran Kannada novelist S L Bhyrappa, who is known for his pro-Sangh Parivar stance, has strongly defended Prime Minister Narendra Modi over multi-billion Rafale scam.

Addressing a symposium on novel ‘Uttara Kanda’, here, Bhyrappa slammed the All India Congress Committee (AICC) president Rahul Gandhi for accusing Modi of joining hands with Anil Ambani of Reliance Group and looting crores of rupees in Rafale deal.

“In our country, it is easy to make a person step down from his position but, it is difficult to prove the allegations. Is there any punishment for those who make false allegations,” he questioned.

“Is it right to give power to Rahul Gandhi, who was born in Italy,” Bhyrappa asked. (In fact, Rahul Gandhi was born in New Delhi, the capital of India, and not in Italy)

Bhyrappa then came down heavily on chief minister H D Kumaraswamy led coalition government of Karnataka, and said the person, who is in power, must understand the financial health of the state before introducing any scheme. “It is not right to introduce the schemes to please a section of the society,” he said.

Another Bhakth

Useless fellow with baseless talk

Modi joined hands with ambani (who has no experiance or expertise in that particular field) for make their family great, not for indian people

He has no business. He may be expecting some award from Modi govt. so that he is praising looter

He is pretending he has much knowledgw by addressing as novelist. Before criticising a person in a public sphere, should learn some background data about him.

He spoiled dignity of novelists

‘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.
