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.

Media is giving half report. As this issue relates to bjp, hired media is not giving true figure of explosives + ammunitions seized. There is a report that scores of weapons and bags full of explosives are seized but media is showing only 10 percent of it. Even the inspectors are hiding the figure. However, we common man wants to know the fact. We want to know reason why bjp offices are turned into godown of ammunitiions, explosives, evm machines, ballot papers, voter id cards, adhaar cards etc etc. Why investigating agencies are shut their mouth.
If this news is true then why he not called terrorist.
What type of award central govt will give. For such offenders and to their god fathers a strict punishment must given. Don't spare , for pocessing arms and amuntion remember Sunjay Dut case. All must deported from Maharashtra to Andaman for ever.
Real face of BJP/RSS party
