Surgical scissors in stomach: Patient now needs financial help

November 19, 2014

Mangaluru, Nov 16: Getting the pair of surgical scissors left behind in her stomach surgically removed after four years was not the last of her problems.

Even four months after the surgery that successfully extracted the sharp object from her body, 35-year-old Afsa is still receiving medical treatment at Unity Hospital.

Hailing from a poor background, Afsa and her family are unable to pay the heavy bills incurred for the surgery, medicines and subsequent treatment at the hospital.

Speaking to Coastaldigest.com, she said that she was still in pain from the internal wounds left behind by the surgical scissors and was recuperating at the hospital. However, the cost of the surgery performed and other medical expenses, which currently runs to over Rs 11 lakhs, had left her family anxious and worried.

With her husband unemployed since a year, there is no provider or source of income for the family.

Afsa and her family desperately seek financial help from any person or organisation, as they are in no position to repay the hospital and medical bills incurred for her surgery and treatment.

Willing donors can directly contact Afsa (Mobile: 9008096456)

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.
