November 9, 2016

Bengaluru, Nov 9: Several office bearers of Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee have reportedly demanded the immediate removal of C M Ibrahim from the post of vice-chairman of the State Planning Board.

The development comes days after Mr Ibrahim publicly criticised chief minister Siddaramiah-led Congress government of Karnataka and praised JD(S) supremo H D Deve Gowda.

KPCC?president G Parameshwara had convened the office-bearers' meeting on Tuesday to chalk out a plan for former prime minister Indira Gandhi's birth centenary celebrations on November 19.

Some of the Congress men in the meeting also demanded that Mr Ibrahim should be expelled him from the party for anti-party activities.

KPCC working president Dinesh Gundu Rao was also present in the meeting. Parameshwara, it is learnt, assured the members that he will take appropriate action after consulting the chief minister.

Besides, many office-bearers raised objections against the party's decision to revoke suspension of K Marigowda, controversial Congress leader of Mysuru and appointment of activist Nagalakshmi Bai as chairperson of the State Women's Commission.

Marigowda has done a lot of damage to the party by publicly abusing an IAS officer and the then Deputy Commissioner of Mysuru district C Shikha, many office-bearers are learnt to have said.

‘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.
