Prakash Rai hints at forming a Political alternative
Mangaluru : People have seen Congress, JDS, BJP or CPIM during the last 70 years and they are disillusioned with them and feel that none of the mainstream parties are true to people. People know what truth is, what Dharma is, right or wrong. They are looking for a new young leader. I am in touch with likeminded people to complement the efforts for a new political alternative, Prakash Rai said in a news conference
Instead of parties with ‘ High command culture, regional leaders should emerge. The leaders should articulate the aspirations of the local people. Several people have joined hands with me in this endeavor. In the next few months I will hold discussions with like-minded people towards this and initiate a new peoples movement, he said.
'BJP people are frustrated by my straight and sharp questioning. They may even throw dung on me, intelligence reports have cautioned me in this regard. I am least bothered about these tactics. Anyway,they throw what is in their head..!’ He sarcastically said.

Online fraud: Hotel chef from Udupi cheated of over Rs 1 lakh by WhatsApp contact
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.
