KFD spreading violence; minister protecting Moodbidri murderers: BSY

October 14, 2015

Udupi, Oct 14: The Bharatiya Janata Party has continued to indulge in political mudslinging over the recent murder of a Bajrang Dal activist in Moodbidri, with former chief minister BS Yeddyurappa accusing a prominent minister in Siddaramaiah led govt of protecting the criminals and exerting pressure on police.

Mr Yeddyurappa apparently lashed out at Minister for Sports and Youth Affairs Abhayachandra Jain, who represents Mulky-Moodbidri constituency in the state assembly, without taking his name.

He was speaking to media persons in Udupi before heading to Moodbidri town which witnessed communal tension last weekend after the murder of Prashant Poojary by unidentified miscreants.

Mr Yeddyurappa said that before breathing his last, Poojary had revealed names of four of the accused who hacked him to death. However, thanks to the pressure by the minister (Mr Janin), police could not take action on them.

Holding non-existent Karnataka Forum for Dignity (KFD), responsible for spreading violence across Karnataka, the BJP leader said that Congress government has been extending all support to the outfit.

"KFD was responsible for spreading communal hatred and unrest years back. The BJP government which was in power previously banned the organisation and clipped its wings. But the present Congress government withdrew cases against it. The home minster is inactive and irresponsible. If he has any regard for law in the state, then he should initiate action against the culprits immediately," Yeddyurappa added.

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.
