New Delhi, August 12: A class 10 boy in Madhya Pradesh’s Jabalpur distributed Rs 46 Lakh of his father’s money among his friends in school, on the occasion of friendship’s day. Amongst the ones he gave out the lumpsum amount were a daily wager’s son, who the boy gave a sum of Rs 15 Lakh, and another 3 Lakh was provided to his friend who had apparently finished his homework, media reports said.

The father who was a builder by profession had kept the amount in his cupboard after he sold a property worth Rs 60 Lakh. Later, when he found the amount missing, he took up the matter with the police.

When the police started investigating, they found that it was the builder’s son who had taken the money and distributed it amongst his friends. Reportedly, one of the kids even bought a new car with the given money. Also, the daily wager’s son has gone missing thereafter.

“The boy’s father has given us a list of students and we are trying to contact all of them. Parents of five students, who got the biggest shares, were summoned by the police and were told to return the money within five days. No case has been registered so far as all those involved are minors,” SI B S Tomar told TOI.

Meanwhile, the police are trying to retrieve the amount from the parents of the kids who were given money.

Mangaluru, May 15: An FIR has been registered at the Mangaluru South Police Station against three individuals and a news website for allegedly spreading false and provocative content involving Kannada daily Vartha Bharati and "Operation Sindoor".

The complaint was lodged by B.M. Basheer, News Editor of Vartha Bharati, who sought legal action against those misusing his name, the name of the newspaper, and "Operation Sindoor" to circulate misleading and defamatory content.

According to the complaint, a Facebook post by Nithin Shamanur titled ‘Operation Sindoor: Kannada Journalist’s brother’s wife Finished’ contained false information and featured a photograph of a woman and soldiers. This same post was allegedly shared by two others — Santosh Hegade and Bettampady Chandra — on their Facebook profiles. In addition, the same content was reportedly published by the website newsputtur.com.

Basheer stated that the news being circulated is completely baseless and inflammatory, and accused the individuals involved of attempting to mislead the public. He warned that such content could spark unrest, especially in the already sensitive environment of coastal Karnataka.

“This baseless and provocative misinformation in the name of ‘Operation Sindoor’ is misleading the public and has the potential to incite unrest in society,” said Basheer in his complaint. “Given the already sensitive atmosphere in coastal Karnataka due to recent developments, such rumors are likely to further destabilize the situation.”

He demanded strict legal action against Nithin Shamanur, Santosh Hegade, Bettampady Chandra, and the editor of newsputtur.com, including registration of a criminal case and a thorough investigation into the matter.

Acting on the complaint, the Mangaluru South Police have registered an FIR against all four accused under relevant sections for allegedly spreading false, defamatory, and inflammatory content online. Further investigation is underway.
