BJP Govt. mulls separate syllabus for Sunni Madrasas in Karnataka

October 14, 2011

Mangalore, October 14: Bharatiya Janata Party led Karnataka government is considering to introduce separate syllabus for Sunni Madrasa students in the state, according to Abbas Shariff Under Secretary, Social Welfare Department (Minority Welfare).

Speaking to media persons on the sidelines of a programme here, Mr Shariff said that the government is also thinking to convene a meeting of the leaders of Madrasa management committees of the twin districts to find out a solution for the confusion among a section of Muslim community over the text-books in this region.

Most of the Madrasas run by Ahl-u-Sunnat-wal-Jama'at (Sunnis), a group of Muslims controlled by Kerala based mullahs, are dependent either on AP group or on EK group text-books.

Conflict between the above two groups for various reasons including choosing text books for Madrasas has remained a matter of concern for many years.

However, a few Muslim organisations, which question the legitimacy of mullahs and proclaim Qur'an and Hadith as the final word in religious matters, have prepared separate text-books for Madrasa students.

Mr Shariff said that he has already issued a notice to all Madrasas urging to the continuation of the textbooks they were following till August 31, 2011.

Udupi NRI duped of Rs 12.25 lakh in Telegram investment scam

News Network

December 4,2025

Udupi: A 40-year-old NRI from Udupi has reportedly lost more than Rs 12.25 lakh in an online investment scam operated through Telegram.

According to a complaint filed at the CEN police station, Leo Jerome Mendonsa, who has been working in Dubai for the past 15 years in computer accessories sales, maintains NRI accounts in Karkala and Nitte.

On November 12, 2025, Mendonsa was added to a Telegram group called Instaflow Earnings by unknown individuals. Users identified as Priya and Dipannita persuaded him to invest in “Revenue Tasks.” Initially, Mendonsa transferred Rs 1,100 multiple times and received the promised returns, encouraging him to continue.

On November 14, another user, Nishmitha Shetty, directed him to register on a website, digitvisionuoce.cc, and invest Rs 4 lakh in various shares. Over the next few days, he made multiple transfers totaling Rs 12,25,000, including Rs 50,000 via Google Pay, believing the scheme was legitimate.

After receiving the money, the alleged handlers stopped responding, and neither the invested amount nor the promised profits were returned.

The CEN police have registered a case under Sections 66(C) and 66(D) of the IT Act and Section 318(4) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), and investigations are ongoing.
