CM Kumaraswamy extends helping hand to handless woman
Bengaluru: Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy on Friday morning found a woman a handless woman near his residence at JP Nagar in the city. The chief minister spoke to her and provided her a job and disability pension.
It is a daily routine that hundreds of people with various requests come and stand in front of the Chief Minister’s residence in JP Nagar. But today morning a handless woman with a baby was found standing in front of the CM’s house. The chief ministers noticed her and asked, why have you come here? “My name is Shaila, and I have come from Davangere. My right hand was cut off in a lorry accident, but I learned to type by right hand, provide me a job,” the woman responded.
Then the Chief Minister asked her to come to Vidhana Soudha. CM Kumaraswamy received her at Vidhana Soudha at 11:30 am. Then he instructed the concerned departments to immediately provide her a typist job in Davanagere and disability pension.
Speaking at the occasion, CM Kumaraswamy said “government should have the mother's heart. With this, we can do a lot of work in the system itself. But to help people in the unorganized sector, we need to work by expanding our legal frameworks. My heart was moved to see her in such a pitiful state. There are hundreds of thousands of people like her. A separate arrangement has to be made for their employment.

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.
