Dharwad, Mar 17: Senior BJP leader and MP Pralhad Joshi said that the foolishness of Congress supremo Rahul Gandhi are sufficient to make Karnataka a Congress-mukt state.

Speaking to media persons here, Mr Joshi said the simmering discontent within the Congress will benefit the BJP and help it comfortably win 22 Lok Sabha seats in Karnataka. He said that the Congress is losing its ground in Karnataka due to the follies of its national president Rahul Gandhi.

He said that Rahul bypassed his party’s state leaders to hold talks with H D Deve Gowda and ceded eight constituencies to the JD(S) including the one Congress won in 2014. The state will soon become “Congress mukt” (free of Congress), Joshi said.

The Congress ceded some constituencies to the JD(S) where the latter has no support base, he said. Joshi also slammed the JD(S) for fielding Deve Gowda and his two grandsons in three constituencies.

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.
