The police have booked the victim’s girlfriend and her fresh boyfriend on charges of abetment and are yet to arrest them.

Sunil Kumar (28) was living with his brother Sathish Kumar and another roommate Vinay in Shakambarinagar in JP Nagar.

According to the police, Sunil Kumar, who had come to Bengaluru around four years ago, was working at Oracle in Whitefield and was in love with his colleague Vinmaya, who was in her early twenties.

Vinmaya was a native of Kolkata and lived at a paying guest accommodation near her office. Sunil and Vinmaya were in love for the past six months, the police said.

Recently, their relationship began to sour after she returned from Kolkata. Sunil gradually started to notice that Vinmaya had taken a liking for his room-mate Vinay, a native of Kolar. His suspicions were confirmed when Vinay vacated Sunil’s house, the police said.

On Thursday, Sunil and Vinmaya met at a common friend Veeresh’s house in Anandgiri Extension in Hebbal to sort out their differences. Talks failed resulting in Vinmaya breaking up with Sunil. The following day, Sunil decided to stay at Veeresh’s house while the latter left for work. When Veeresh returned from work at 7.30 pm, he knocked at the door and there was no response.

He then peeped through the window and saw Sunil hanging from the ceiling fan. Veeresh informed both the police and Sunil’s brother Sathish. The police recovered a death note where Sunil held Vinmaya and Vinay responsible for his death.

He also mentioned in the note that there was evidence and information on a pen-drive, which the police are searching for.

Mangaluru police have arrested a 27-year-old NRI on his return from Saudi Arabia in connection with an Instagram post allegedly containing derogatory and provocative remarks about the Hindu religion, officials said on Monday.

The accused, Abdul Khader Nehad, a resident of Ulaibettu in Mangaluru, was working in Saudi Arabia when the post was uploaded, police said.

A suo motu case was registered at the Bajpe police station on October 11 after an allegedly offensive post circulated from the Instagram account ‘team_sdpi_2025’. Police said the content was flagged for being provocative and derogatory in nature.

During the investigation, technical analysis traced the Instagram post to Nehad, who was residing abroad at the time, a senior police officer said. Based on these findings, a Look Out Circular (LOC) was issued against him.

On December 14, Nehad arrived from Saudi Arabia at Calicut International Airport in Kerala, where he was taken into custody on arrival. Police said further investigation is underway.

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.
