Mangaluru, May 4: MLA Moideen Bawa has added the prime accused of the murder case of Bijai Madrasa's Maulvi to Congress party, alleged Muneer Katipalla.
According to his Facebook post, "Mangaluru North MLA Moideen Bawa has added the activists of the communal organization Techi Ravi, Paddu and others --who are the prime accused in the murder case of Bijai madrasa's innocent Maulvi-- to Congress party by giving them the party flags and shawls at a function. This is the worst way of doing politics. Going to this extent for winning, has saddened me. The Congress party, which always speaks for the safety of minorities and secularism, is against communalism. Siddaramaiah must talk about this step of Moideen Bawa. Otherwise, people will decide in the election.

Udupi: Udupi City Police have registered a case of online fraud after a 62-year-old hotel chef was allegedly cheated of Rs 1.13 lakh by a woman who befriended him on WhatsApp, claiming to be based in London.
The victim, identified as Pandu Kariappa Poojary, a resident of Kuthpadi in Udupi, was working at a hotel in Mangaluru.
He reportedly came into contact with a woman identifying herself as Emilda William on WhatsApp. During their interactions, she told Poojary that she planned to start a cosmetics and hotel business in India and would meet him during a visit to Mangaluru.
On April 7, Emilda sent Poojary a flight ticket from London to Delhi via WhatsApp. The following day, Poojary received a phone call from a woman who informed him that Emilda had arrived at Delhi airport carrying a demand draft worth Rs 5 crore along with other items. The caller allegedly asked him to pay Rs 70,000.
Subsequently, Poojary also received a call from Emilda, who was reportedly crying and spoke about the situation. Believing the claims, he transferred a total of Rs 1,13,300 in phases using a scanner. He later realised that he had been cheated.
