Mangaluru, Mar 22: Members of the district unit of Akhila Bharath Hindu Mahasabha (ABHM) staged a ‘rasta roko’ demonstration near Mahaveer Circle at Pumpwell in city on Sunday, demanding that the case of suicide of IAS officer DK Ravi should be handed to the CBI for investigation.

They demanded that the state government and the home ministry should hand over the case to the CBI. The chief minister is turning away from his responsibility by refusing to hand over the case for a CBI probe, said state secretary of the organisation Dharmendra.

He further said that if the case of DK Ravi was not handed over to CBI by Monday, the organisation would call for a district bandh in the coming days and conduct intense protests in all taluks of Dakshina Kannada.

Stating their demands, the protestors blocked one of the roads at the circle and prevented vehicles from moving for a while before allowing them to move ahead.

ABHM members Rajesh Poojary, Shravan Kumar, Naveen Kumar, Chetan Mulya and others were part of the ‘rasta roko’ protest.

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.
