Bengaluru, May 15: It’s a tantalisingly close finish for the BJP in the Karnataka Assembly elections. The party is set to emerge as the single largest party, with the Congress and the JD(S) finishing second and third respectively.

Reacting to the results, BJP’s chief ministerial candidate B.S. Yeddyurappa said, “People of Karnataka have rejected the misrule of Siddaramaiah lock, stock and barrell. People of Karnataka have voted for change. The State has responded to the call of Congress-free Karnataka by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

He said, “the BJP has emerged as the single largest party and the anti-Congress wave have also given JD(S) considerable seats. Anti-incumbency is so strong that Siddaramaiah has himself suffered a humiliating defeat in his own constituency.”

When asked about reports of the Congress and JD(S) coming together to keep the BJP out, he said he condemned “the attempts by the Congress to subvert popular mandate and trying to come back to power from the back door.” Karnataka’s people would never accept that.

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.
