New Delhi: Twitter users on Tuesday evening took a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi as hashtag #15LakhAaGaye went trending on micro-blogging site, soon after India crossed 15-lakh COVID-19 cases mark.

The swipe was at Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s poll promise of depositing 15 lakh rupees in the bank accounts of every citizen of the country. Modi had made the promise in his election campaigning in 2014 and has been trolled over the years for not fulfilling it.

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.
