Bengaluru, Dec 10: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah challenged Union Minister D V Sadananda Gowda to contest and win from the Varuna constituency seat in Mysore-- "if he has the guts".

The CM said that his son Dr Yathindra would contest from the Varuna constituency in the upcoming Assembly polls "if the party gives him a ticket".

"I challenge Sadananda Gowda to contest and win against him if he has the courage," Siddaramaiah said.

"Why should I be afraid just because Sadananda Gowda is made in-charge of the constituency? What does he know about the constituency? In the last election, I have won by a margin of 32,000 votes. Just because Sadananda Gowda is made in-charge, will that change?" he asked media persons who met him.

"If it is so convenient for the BJP, let Sadananda Gowda contest, instead of someone else," he remarked.

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.
