Siddaramaiah should not make George home minister, says?Yeddyurappa

Kalaguragi, Jun 2: BJP state unit president B S Yeddyurappa on Thursday that it would not be right on the part of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to again allot the Home portfolio to minister K J George.

“George is very close to the chief minister. We struggled to ensure that he was stripped of the Home portfolio. However, an adamant Siddaramaraiah always functions the other way round,” he said, while speaking to reporters here.

In the past six months, three BJP workers were murdered in Bengaluru. The government is not taking any measures to speed up investigations.

It should also act quickly and arrest those behind the murder of BJP worker at Anekal on Thursday, Yeddyurappa urged.

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.
