Yet another fake investment company case surfaces in city

March 8, 2011

Mangalore, March 8: In yet another major fraud case, Mangalore police on Tuesday raided two offices of a city based fraudulent investment company and took a few people into custody for investigation.

A large number of investors have alleged that 'Dreamz Tours and Travels (DTT), which has two offices at Cee Dee Complex, in Pumpwell, cheated them after promising to help them make some quick money. Previously, the company had operated under the names of Unipay, Visa Rev, and Unigold.

With the hopes of doubling their investment in 10 months, a large number of people invested crores of rupees in an online trading chain scheme.

The development comes within a few days after police took action against Global Index Investment Company (GIIC), a similar fraudulent company following complaints lodged by its victims.

Victims have alleged that DTT, managed by one Sandesh Mascarenhas, not only failed to meet its promise of doubling the money but also deceived people by swallowing the entire deposit.

“They cheated us after assuring that they would invest the money in gold in Malaysia and other countries, which will result in high return” said, one of the victims.

Kankandy police are investigating the issue after sealing both the offices of DTT.

Vokkaligara Sangha threatens Congress: ‘Shivakumar must be CM or face backlash’

News Network

November 27,2025

Bengaluru: The Vokkaligara Sangha on Thursday issued a stern warning to the Congress, saying the party could face serious electoral repercussions if Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar is not appointed as Chief Minister.

The warning follows the public backing of Shivakumar’s chief ministerial ambition by top Vokkaliga pontiff Nirmalanandanatha Swami, who urged the Congress high command to honor his claim.

“The community supported Congress in the 2023 Assembly elections only because Shivakumar had a real chance to become CM. If he is cheated, we’ll teach the party a big lesson,” said newly elected Sangha president L. Srinivas. He added that Vokkaligas would organize protests under the guidance of community leaders.

General Secretary C.G. Gangadhar pointed out that Congress won more seats in the Vokkaliga-dominated Old Mysuru region due to Shivakumar’s influence, adding, “If Congress wants to retain power, Shivakumar should be made the CM.”

Outgoing president Kenchappa Gowda emphasized Shivakumar’s contribution to Congress’ victory. “Our community voted for Congress thinking he would become CM. Siddaramaiah has also served the party well, but Shivakumar should now be given a chance,” he said.

Former general-secretary Konappa Reddy appealed to Sonia and Rahul Gandhi to recognize Shivakumar’s loyalty and service, saying, “Congress is known to keep its promises. We hope it won’t break the promise made to him.”
