The Kinz Foundation distributes over 6000 kits to needy families during corona lockdown
Mangaluru: The Kinz Foundation , led by Althaf Ullal Saqco, a prominent Non-Resident Indian businessman in Jubail, has distributed more than 6000 grocery kits to people of all communities across the Dakshina Kannada District since the Lockdown was imposed, a release from the organisation said.
The Kinz Foundation launched a massive grocery kit distribution drive in the last week of March after realizing the plights of poor and middle-class families affected by the country-wide lockdown due to the spread of Corona Virus. Accordingly, needy people were identified initially in Ullal and neighboring localities and grocery kits were distributed among them. The distribution drive was later extended to Bantwal, Belthangadi, and Charmady areas in the district.
Over 6000 kits consisting of almost all the basic grocery items were delivered neatly to the needy families. It was ensured that only quality items were included in the kit. Also, dinner and mineral water was served consecutively for two days to thousands of North Indian migrant labourers who were housed at the Buntara Bhavan relief camp in Bantwal. Sehri meal was also provided to hundreds of people observing Ramazan fasting during the lockdown.
Around 55 volunteers of The Kinz Foundation were involved in systematically and strategically distributing the kits in cooperation with the respective area representatives, social workers, and mosque authorities.
“Four supervisors overlooked the logistics and transportation of the eight trucks carrying these grocery kits. The organisation's Mangaluru Manager Musa Fazil was the in-charge of the kit distribution project” Althaf Ullal Saqco, Chairman of the organisation, stated in the statement.

Bank account in Ramgarh tracked for fraudulent fund transactions across 24 states, 4 arrested
Ramgarh (Jharkhand) (PTI): Jharkhand police on Thursday said it has unearthed a network of interstate cyber frauds and arrested four miscreants for fraudulent transactions through a bank account in Ramgarh district after complaints of 274 suspected transactions in 24 states.
The states where complaints for fraudulent transactions were registered included Maharashtra, Karnataka, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Andhra Pradesh.
The action followed inputs received through 'Samanvaya portal', a centralised, web-based platform launched by the Union Home Ministry to curb cybercrime.
"We arrested four cyber miscreants after a current account with Kuju (Ramgarh) branch of the State Bank of India was found to have registered suspected financial transactions in 24 states with the help of the Pratibimba portal of the Home Ministry through the Samanvaya portal," Ramgarh Superintendent of Police Mukesh Kumar Lunayat said.
During the probe, police found that the account was opened under the MSME Udyam Registration scheme in the name of Shree Ganesh Enterprises, he said.
The account had been linked to as many as 274 complaints from different states related to cyber fraud and illegal fund transfers.
The registered proprietors of the enterprise were identified as Rahul Gupta (37), Ravi Kumar Verma (34), and Ajay Sharma (33), all residents of Ramgarh district, a statement from the Ramgarh police said.
During interrogation, Rahul Gupta and Ravi Kumar Verma revealed that they had opened multiple current accounts at the behest of Ritesh Agrawal alias Munna (40) and Sonu Kumar Jha (34).
They admitted receiving Rs 1.2 lakh in exchange for facilitating the opening of these accounts.
"The accused further confessed to sharing OTPs, activating mobile banking services, and handing over control of the accounts to the main operators through WhatsApp and Telegram groups. These accounts were then allegedly used to route fraudulent transactions.
Police said mobile data analysis of the accused led to the recovery of crucial digital evidence, including details of SIM cards, bank accounts, passbooks, ATM cards, QR code scanners, Aadhaar cards, and PAN cards shared through messaging platforms.
A total of four accused have been arrested so far and sent to judicial custody.
A case has been registered at the Cyber Crime Police Station under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) 2023 and Sections 66C and 66D of the Information Technology Act, 2000.
Further investigation is underway, the police said.
