Puttur: Police issue notice to Pratibha Kulai in fraud case linked to young woman
Mangaluru: The Puttur City Police have issued a notice to Congress leader Pratibha Kulai in connection with a case involving a young woman who has accused the son of BJP leader P.G. Jagannivasa Rao of cheating her after allegedly promising marriage.
Speaking to Vartha Bharati, Pratibha Kulai said that P.G. Jagannivasa Rao had filed a complaint against her with the Dakshina Kannada Superintendent of Police. “The Superintendent forwarded the complaint to the Puttur City Police Station for inquiry. Based on this, I have received a notice asking me to appear before the police and cooperate with the investigation,” she said.
Kulai alleged that the complaint against her was false. “P.G. Jagannivasa Rao has earlier also filed baseless cases against me. I am not afraid of such complaints,” she said.
She also said that preparations are under way to hold the naming ceremony of the victim’s child at Kalladka on February 15 or 16.

Boat carrying 250 people, including Rohingya and Bangladeshis, sinks in Andaman Sea

Dhaka (AP): At least 250 people, including Rohingya refugees and Bangladeshi nationals, were missing after a boat capsized in the Andaman Sea recently on the way to Malaysia, according to the United Nations' refugee and migration agencies.
When the boat sank and the status of any search Wednesday were unclear.
The UN High Commissioner for Refugees and the International Organisation for Migration in a joint statement said Tuesday that the trawler departed from Teknaf in the southern Bangladeshi district of Cox's Bazar carrying a large number of passengers to Malaysia.
Overcrowding, strong winds and rough seas caused the vessel to lose control and sink, the agencies said.
UNHCR and IOM said the disappearance reflected the protracted displacement of Rohingya people and the absence of durable solutions.
They said ongoing violence in Myanmar's Rakhine state has made the Rohingyas' safe return to Myanmar uncertain, and limited humanitarian assistance, restricted access to education and employment in refugee camps, continue to push vulnerable Rohingya refugees to choose risky sea journeys, often based on false promises of higher wages and better opportunities abroad.
UNHCR and IOM urged the international community to strengthen funding and solidarity to ensure lifesaving assistance for Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh, which has sheltered more than 1 million Rohingya from Myanmar.
