Woman says no one helped her when she was abused and threatened by MLA Harris’ son
Bengaluru: A woman posted a video on Facebook accusing MLA Harris' son Mohammed Nalpad, who is accused of assaulting a youth, assaulted and threatened her also in the past.
Varshita Das Poornima, who posted the video on the social networking site, said the media, which is expressing their anger over the assault on youth by MLA's son, was tight-lipped when justice was denied to her. Besides, when she requested self-proclaimed Hindu organizations like Bhajarangadal and Shri Ram Sene to get her justice, they asked her to gather 500, 1000 people. Expressing her anger, she said, "Instead of fighting for a woman's justice, If Bhajarangadal and Shri Ram Sene ask her to gather people, then such organizations must be thrown away into garbage bins."
"For two days, the state media is back of Harris' son. That is fine. But three years ago, when I went to police station to file a complaint against the same Harris' son, no police station was ready to take my complaint. Before I reach the police station, a phone call comes there saying that a woman by name Poornima will come, do not take any complaint from her. When Muslims, who stood by Harris' son, said, they will cut me into pieces on the road itself, where was the media at that time?"
"Was media fixed with Harris on that occasion? I had given a complaint to Cubbon Park police station. Police told me that it does not come in our area, go to Alsur police station. In Alsur police station, they said it does not come in the limits of Alsur police station; go to Cubbon Park police station. Police did not have morality in that instance. In front of me, they threw my complaint into a dustbin."
"I have been insulted for being a woman. My life is under threat. When I requested big organizations like Bhajarangadal and Shri Ram Sene to come for my assistance, they asked me to gather 500, 1000 people. Why would I need your organizations if I was able to gather 500, 1000 people? Throw your organizations to garbage bins. Shame on Shri Ram Sene, Muthalik, Bhajarangadal and Suryanarayan. Harris, who made me cry today, is still at large," she said.
However, Poornima's video has gone viral and over 1 lakh 69 thousand people have watched it. So far, It has received three thousand comments and shared 4,454 times.

Mangaluru: Man arrested for posing as Lokayukta official
Mangaluru (Karnataka) (PTI): A man was arrested for posing as a Lokayukta officer and attempting to extort money via WhatsApp, Ullal police said.
According to a press release from the Commissioner of Police, Mangaluru, Dhananjaya Reddy Thota (31) allegedly called Purushottam, a panchayat officer, posing as a Lokayukta official. He demanded money to "resolve" an alleged corruption case. Suspicious of the caller’s identity, Purushottam alerted authorities, prompting an investigation.
Tracing the call led police to Andhra Pradesh, where Thota was apprehended on Saturday. Preliminary investigations revealed that he had no connection to the Lokayukta and was using the scheme to exploit officials by leveraging fear of legal action.
Ullal police are now probing whether Thota was involved in similar scams elsewhere. The case highlights the need for vigilance against such fraudulent activities targeting government employees.
Thota has been remanded to police custody and further investigations are underway.
