“Congress candidates will win the elections in all three ZP seats and at least eight of 10 TP seats in Mangaluru North,” Mr Bava told media persons here.

Mr Bava said that he had given a thrust to the development of roads in the last two years. The roads that had remained neglected in the Ganjimutt, Edapadavu, Ullaibettu and Neermarga areas have been developed, he added.

“A fisheries jetty will come up at Kulai at an estimated cost of Rs 197 crore. Thirty percent of the total amount will be shared by the NMPT, 40 per cent by the Department of Agriculture and the remaining 30 per cent by the Department of Shipping,” said the legislator.

The MLA said that a crematorium which remained locked for the last 17 years has been provided modern facilities and will be inaugurated shortly.

“I have asked the transport minister to extend the services of a KSRTC bus – sanctioned under Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JnNURM) – to Ulaibettu from Vamanjoor. A report on the pollution in his constituency will be submitted by the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board within a month,” said Bava.

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.

Mangaluru: In a significant step to curb online hate and intimidation, Mangaluru City Police have registered a suo motu case against multiple Instagram accounts accused of circulating alleged provocative and threatening content.

While monitoring social media activity on Tuesday, Kankanady Town PSI Anitha Nikkam identified the Instagram handle ‘team_targetttt_900’ for posting a hate message alongside images of lethal weapons. Another account, ‘team_nagara_900’, allegedly shared a threatening post targeting activist Bharath Kumdelu, tagging additional pages such as KARAVALI-OFFICIAL.

Several other accounts — including ‘immu_bhai.fan’, ‘target_boy_900’, ‘kings_of_manglore’, ‘team_target_boys.900’, ‘arshad_mangalore’, ‘target_ka19_ullal’, ‘team_target__’, ‘troll_tigersz_900’, ‘tr_group_900’, and ‘team_target_900’ — are also under scrutiny for spreading similar inflammatory material, police said.

Authorities have urged citizens, especially young social media users, to report suspicious pages and avoid engaging with groups that glorify violence or threaten individuals. Online hate can quickly escalate into real-world harm, and police stress that sharing or promoting such content can attract legal consequences.
