Bengaluru: Hotel owner loses Rs 52,000 in online payment app scam
Bengaluru: A hotel owner in Ramamurthy Nagar fell victim to an online payment app scam, losing a amount of Rs 52,000. The incident unfolded when the miscreants, who posed as bank executives, approached the owner of Biryani Hotel, Parul Shah.
In a swift deception, the two strangers convinced Parul Shah that he could avail a cashback offer on the online payment app by making daily transactions of Rs 300. Under the pretense of helping him, one of the culprits requested access to Parul Shah's mobile phone to download the app and complete the process.
Believing their ruse, Shah handed over his mobile phone and also shared his bank details. The miscreants assured him that the app had been successfully installed and then departed from the scene.

The police registered a case and initiated an investigation into the matter.

Abhigyan Kundu hits 209 not out for first-ever double ton in Youth ODIs for India
Dubai (PTI): Wicketkeeper-batter Abhigyan Kundu on Tuesday created history with first-ever double ton in Youth ODIs for India, scoring an unbeaten against Malaysia in the U-19 Asia Cup match here.
The 17-year-old Kundu thus recorded only the second instance of a double century in Youth ODIs after South Africa's Jorich Van Schalkwyk, who had scored 215 off 153 balls against Zimbabwe earlier this year in Harare.
Batting at No 5, the left-handed Kundu hit an overall 19 fours and seven sixes to smash 209 not out off only 125 balls.
His knock powered India U-19 to a huge 408 for seven batting first.
Earlier in the same tournament, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi had scored a 95-ball 171 against the UAE, which is overall the ninth highest individual score in the format.
