August 24, 2012

Bhatkal, August 24: Deputy Chief Minister and Bharathiya Janata Party state chief K S Eshwarapppa has said that his party would complete its tenure in Karnataka as all the internal conflicts and confusions of ruling party have been solved.

Addressing media persons after participating in BJP State Mahila Morcha Executive Committee meeting held at a hotel here on Friday, he said that the saffron party would once again come to power through next assembly elections.

“We have already held discussions with all the leaders of the party, including with those who were once identified as disgruntled”, he said adding that warning of strict action against disgruntled has also been issued by the party high command.

“We are sure that our party would bag more than 150 seats in next assembly elections. There is no future of Congress and JD(S) in the state”, he said.

He also lashed out at the Congress-led union government and accused it of showing step-motherly attitude towards Karnataka by not releasing draught relief funds in this critical juncture.

‘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.
