Mangalore, October 23: 'Love Jihad' and 'forcible conversion' are the root causes of communal clashes and all other confusions and chaos in the society, said BJP leader and MLC Monappa Bhandary.

Speaking at 'Bakrid Message', a programme organised by Akhila Bharata Beary Barishat at Jamiyyatul Falah Auditorium in the city on Monday called upon the Muslims to refrain from communal activities.

If Prophet Muhammad was a messenger of peace why do these Muslims cultivate hatred towards other religions, consider people of other faiths as 'Kafirs' and try to convert them into Islam, promote casteism and always support Pakistan, he questioned adding that those who shout pro-Pak slogans cannot become Indians. “No Indian should involve in such anti-social activities”, he said.

Preacher and Manager of 'Shanti Prakashana' Islamic Publication Muhammad Kunnhi delivered the Eid message and explained the significance of Eid-ul-Adha.

State Wakf Board member Y Mohammad Kunnhi inaugurated the programme. Beary Parishat president Abdul Azeez Baikampady presided over. Karnataka Sahitya Parishat former president Harikrishna Punarooru, JD(S) leader Haider Parthipady were present among others.

Beary Parishat honourary president Abdul Majeed Suralpady welcomed. General secretary Muhammad Kunjattabail proposed vote of thanks. Husain Katipalla compered the programme.

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.
