Mangalore, Aug 25: Members of Vishwa Hindu Parishat and Bajarang Dal staged a protest against arrest of their leaders Praveen Togadia and Ashok Singhal in Ayodhya on Sunday.

Addressing the protesters VHP leader Jagadish Shenava said that Samajavadi government in Uttar Pradesh arrested their leaders at the behest of Central government just to appease the minority community.

He said a massive rally will be organised on August 26 in front of Town Hall in the city, he added.

The protesters took out a rally from VHP Office located at PVS junction to Bunts Hostel thus blocking the road for several minutes.

Sharan Pumpwell, Shivanand Mendon, Gopal Kuthar, Jeethendra Kottary, Pradeep Pumpwell, Punith Pumpwell, Bhujanga Kulal and others also took part in the protest.

Clamping down on the proposed yatra, the Uttar Pradesh govt arrested senior VHP leader Praveen Togadia on Sunday morning after he defied prohibitory orders. Togadia was arrested from Gola ghat in Ayodhya. Ashok Singhal has been detained at Lucknow airport.

On Sunday morning, setting the stage for a confrontation with the government, VHP inaugurated its controversial yatra from Ayodhya amidst a massive crackdown launched by the administration which has arrested over 500 people including a former BJP MP and a sitting MLA.

Mangaluru, Dec 20: City Police Commissioner Sudheer Kumar Reddy has issued a high-alert warning to vehicle owners regarding a surge in cyber fraud targeting those looking to pay traffic violation fines. Fraudsters are reportedly exploiting recent government discount schemes on traffic penalties to deceive citizens.

The Scam: How Fraudsters Strike

Criminals are using SMS, WhatsApp, and social media to circulate suspicious links and APK files (Android application packages). They claim these apps allow users to pay e-challans at a discount.

• Device Hacking: Downloading these unauthorized apps gives hackers full access to the victim's smartphone.

• Financial Theft: Once the phone is compromised, fraudsters intercept OTPs and personal data to drain bank accounts.

• Phishing Sites: Fake websites mimicking official portals are also being used to harvest banking credentials.

Already, two residents within Mangaluru city limits have reported significant financial losses after falling victim to these fraudulent apps.
