March 5, 2015

Udupi, Mar 5: A case has been registered against a miscreant for hurting the sentiments of Indians by threatening to burn the Constitution of India during a panel discussion on a local television channel.

The accused has been identified as Elloor Subrahmanya Rao, a Sangh Parivar activist. He made the controversial statement during a panel discussion on a local television channel on Monday on the topic ‘Burning Bhagavad Gita'

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.
