Mangaluru: KPCC general secretary PV Mohan has stated that RSS Chief’s remark that there is no Hindutva without Muslims is just a bogus statement.

Addressing a press meet at D.K district Congress Bhavan on Saturday, he said, "RSS was eyeing on Muslim votes and has issued such a statement to garner more votes for Prime Minister Narendra Modi. There can be peace and harmony in the nation only if the RSS is banned.

"The BJP is a sinking ship. Anyhow this has to be brought ashore. Therefore the RSS is struggling. The RSS, which does not talk about issues like Cauvery and Mahadayi, is helping BJP through raking up communal sentiments," Mohan alleged.

“The Narendra Modi-led central government is more dangerous than the erstwhile British rule.  It has implemented GST, note ban which were not discussed before polls. At the same time, it has failed to fulfill its poll promises on black money and to create employment,” he alleged.

“The Congress will be holding a Lok Sampark Abhiyan across the nation from October 2 to November 19. A 10-member team will be formed in 56 booths in the district. This team would serve as a service center,” he added.

The party's leaders Abdul Saleem, Neeraj Paul, Honnaya, Sumit, Nazir Bajal and others were present.

Rajkot (PTI): Three officials of leading private banks were arrested for their alleged involvement in a Rs 2,500-crore cyber fraud racket in Gujarat's Rajkot district, bringing the number of those held so far in the case to 20, police said on Monday.

Those arrested were identified as Maulik Kamani, a personal manager at Yes Bank in Padadhari; Kalpesh Dangariya, a manager at Axis Bank in Jamnagar; and Anurag Baldha, a personal banker with HDFC Bank, Rajkot (Rural) Superintendent of Police Vijay Gurjar said.

Dangariya and Baldha were previously employed with Yes Bank, he added.

Kamani allegedly assisted the earlier arrested accused in opening and managing suspicious accounts. He also helped bypass banking alerts triggered by high-value transactions by submitting additional documentation to keep accounts active, the SP said.

Kamani was allegedly involved in cash withdrawals that were later routed through hawala channels (illegal money transfer system), supported by digital evidence recovered from his mobile device, he added.

Dangariya is accused of facilitating the opening of fraudulent accounts using fake or misrepresented identities, police said.

He also assisted in structuring documentation, including Agricultural Produce Market Committee (APMC)-related papers, to prevent transactions from being flagged as suspicious, they said.

On the other hand, Baldha opened new accounts after verification and certification processes as part of the racket, Gurjar informed.

All the three accused are in police custody, while others are in jail under judicial remand, SP said.

So far, police have identified 85 bank accounts linked to the racket with 535 complaints filed on the cyber crime portal.

The total transaction linked to the cyber fraud exceeds Rs 2,500 crore, police said.

The earlier fraud amount was pegged by police at Rs 1,500 crore.
