Mangaluru, Oct 21: A 26-year-old man who was about to board a UAE-bound flight at Mangaluru International Airport was arrested by the security forces and handed over to the local police yesterday in connection with a four year old case.

Abdul Rahiman, 26, a resident of Manjeshwar in Kasargod, was produced before a local court soon after his arrest on Saturday.

The police was on look out for him since 2014 in a case pertaining to a riot at Kanyana in the Vitla police station limits in Bantwal taluk. He had been been evading trial since then.

Taking cognisance of this, the additional civil judge and judicial magistrate first class, of the court in Bantwal, on February 13 this year, issued a warrant against him.

Based on a tip-off that Rahiman was at the Mangaluru International Airport to fly to UAE, police from the Bajpe station issued a look out circular and nabbed him. Police said trials were pending against Rahiman in several other cases as well.

‘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.
