Palakkad, May 11: A girl student, who had to remove her innerwear to appear for NEET here on May 6, has filed a police complaint, alleging that an external observer stared at her "inappropriately".

The student, who appeared for the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test conducted by the CBSE at Lion's school at Koppa, had to remove her brassieres along with some other girls as they contained metal hooks, before writing the test. According to the complainant, a male external observer kept staring at her inappropriately.

"The invigilator came and stood before her several times. He did not look at her face... but at her chest. She tried to cover herself with the question paper," her sister told television channels. "My sister was mentally tensed. The invigilator came near her two to three times... she found it difficult to write the exam properly, she was uncomfortable," she said.

A case was registered under IPC sect 509 (eve-teasing by word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman), and investigations have begun, police said.

Police said they have begun investigations and are trying to talk to students who had appeared for the test in the same school.

We need women observer most of the fields to reduce such types of incidents. Or else we need to to make separate classes for girls and their observer is woman and separate for boys at each center.

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.
