DCC shows loyalty to Poojary by withdrawing planned protest against Yatra

November 1, 2011

Mangalore, November 1: Dakshina Kannada District Congress Committee dared to violate the directions of Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee by not staging black flag protest against BJP leader L K Advani's Jan Chetana Yatra which passed through the city on Monday.

DCC leaders changed their earlier decision following the instructions from former union minister B Janardhana Poojary, who felt that a black flag dharna would only give publicity to the Yatra.

Former MLA Vijaya Kumar Shetty said that DCC respected his views and dropped the decision to stage s black flag demonstration. He also added that as members of the Youth Congress took a protest against the Rath Yatra on Sunday, the DCC had supported the same. It is enough to reveal our displeasure over the yatra, he clarified.

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.
