Medical report proves rape of Class 5 student by 65-year-old man

August 17, 2014

Mangalore, Aug 17: The medical report of the fifth standard student, who was alleged to have been sexually assaulted by an elderly man in Bolanthoor, revealed that the girl had been raped.

Hasainar (65) is accused of raping the minor girl, who is said to be mentally challenged.

The ghastly act allegedly took place at Bangarakodi near N C Road in Bolanthoor on Friday evening.

Since the victim's family faced threats, officials from Child Helpline visited their home and collected information from the girl and her family.

The accused Hasainar is said to have lured the girl by asking her to accompany him to his house on the pretext of buying her chocolates. Taking advantage of the situation, he then allegedly raped her.

Hearing the screams of the girl, neighbours ran to the house and caught Hasainar red-handed. Although he managed to escape from the scene, he was later caught by the police.

Initially, it was alleged that he had sexually assaulted the minor girl. After conducting a medical examination, the medical report revealed that he had raped the girl.

He was produced before the magistrate and remanded to 15 days of judicial custody.

The police have registered a case of rape and have booked him under Protection of Children against Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.

After a complaint was filed before the Child Helpline in Mangalore that the family of the accused was trying to pressurise the girl's family into withdrawing the case, officials from the child organisation collected information from the girl's family and have submitted a report to the Child Welfare Committee for further investigation.

December 5,2025

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.

‘Profit’ trap: Mangaluru trader duped of ₹33.1 lakh in online App scam

News Network

December 7,2025

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.
