Former MLA JR Lobo duped by unknown caller
Fraudster loots Rs. 49,000 from bank
Mangaluru: Former MLA JR Lobo lost Rs. 49,000 from his bank account after he trusted an unknown caller recently. A case in this regard has been registered at Kadri police station. The Kadri police have transferred the case to Cyber Police for further investigation.
The caller, who claimed that he was calling from a State Bank of India branch, informed Lobo that his ATM card is getting expired and needs to be updated. The former MLA trusted him and shared his ATM number and OTP on demand. Soon after Lobo shared the OTP, he received a message which read Rs. 49,000 debited from his account.
The former MLA, who realized of being duped by an unknown caller, immediately called bank officials and requested to block his ATM card. Later on, JR Lobo complained with Kadri Police.

UP: Misled by GPS navigation, car falls into river from partially constructed bridge, 3 dead
Bareilly (UP), Nov 24: Three people died when their car fell into the Ramganga river from a partially constructed bridge here on Sunday, police said, adding that they suspect the driver was misled by its navigation system into taking the unsafe route.
The accident occurred around 10 am on the Khalpur-Dataganj road when the victims were travelling from Bareilly to Dataganj in the Badaun district, they said.
"Earlier this year, floods had caused the front portion of the bridge to collapse into the river, but this change had not been updated in the system," Circle Officer Ashutosh Shivam said.
The driver was using a navigation system and did not realise that the bridge was unsafe, driving the car off the damaged section, the police said.
There were no safety barriers or warning signs on the approach to the damaged bridge, leading to the fatal accident, Shivam said.
Upon receiving information, police teams from Faridpur, Bareilly and Dataganj police station rushed to the spot. They recovered the vehicle and the bodies from the river, Shivam added.
The circle officer said that bodies had been sent for post-mortem. Further investigation into the matter is underway.
