Book Congress leaders for disrespecting Governor: Govind Karjol
Bengaluru: MLA Govind Karjol stated that a Congress MLC Ivan D'Souza must be booked under the goonda act for speaking against the Governor. He urged for strict action against other Congress representatives for disrespecting state head during recent protests. He was speaking to media persons after lodging a complaint at the DGP office at Nrupatunga Road on Tuesday.
Accusing the Congress of misusing power to disrespect the Governor in a 'politically motivated protest', Karjol alleged that the protesters had beaten the Governor's photo with slippers and verbally abused him. "MLC Ivan D'Souza spoke against the Governor in a threatening tone. He said that a situation like Bangladesh would come to Karnataka too and spoke of barging into the Raj Bhavan to drive away the Governor. I suspect Ivan D'Souza of having links with Pak terrorists. I condemn his statement", he said.

7 held for running fake call centre in South Kolkata
Kolkata (PTI): Seven people were arrested from the Parnashree area in the southern part of the city for allegedly running a fake call centre, a police officer said on Saturday.
Acting on a tip-off, police raided a house on Netaji Subhas Road on Friday night and found the fake call centre operating from the ground floor, he said.
Preliminary investigation revealed that the accused had set up a bogus company using forged documents and posed as employees of an antivirus firm to call citizens in the US, the officer said.
"The callers would gain the trust of victims and then use remote access to take control of their phones or other digital devices. The accused allegedly siphoned off large sums of money, running into millions of dollars, from victims' accounts," he said.
Five laptops, two WiFi routers, six mobile phones and four headsets were seized from the accused, he said, adding that the seven are being questioned to ascertain the full extent of the racket and to identify others involved.
