Pistols, revolvers and other dangerous weapons that can be used for terror activities are being smuggled to Karnataka from BJP ruled northern states of Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, and Uttar Pradesh, according to State Home Minister Ramalinga Reddy.

The revelation comes days after the arrest of Hindu Yuva Sene leader Naveen Kumar T alias Hotte Manja by the special investigation team probing Gauri Lankesh murder case. The 38-year-old gunrunner from Maddur in Mandya was caught at the KSRTC bus stand in Majestic area in Bengaluru when he was trying to sell .32-calibre gun and 15 live bullets.

Speaking to media persons in Mysuru on Saturday (March 3), Mr Reddy said that he had sought the support of the state governments of Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, and Uttar Pradesh to curb weapons smuggling into the south India state. He said that weapons available in those states easily reach the prospective buyers in Karnataka.

“The weapons are being supplied to the underworld gangsters mailing from those three states. Hence, necessary measures should be taken to address the problem at the grass-root level. The chief ministers of three BJP-ruled states must consider our appeal," he said.

The minister said that Karnataka government has already taken initiatives to curb smuggling of weapons into the state. The senior police officers are in touch with their counterparts in the neighbouring states, he added.

This is proof for the existence of saffron terrorism in India. This is also proof for BJP’s involvement in saffron terrorism. This is also proves that BJP is an anti-national force.

Uttar Pradesh was a hub of illegal weapons during Samajwadi party rule. BJP CM Yogi has succeeded in curbing illegal arms in the UP.

This is indeed a serious issue. Unfortunately not being highlighted by mainstream media in spite of direct revelation by the home minister. Reddy should pressurise the police department to deal with saffron terror with iron fist. As elections are nearing they may be conspiring for something big.

Udupi, Nov 11: A traveller reportedly lost ₹4.1 lakh after attempting to book a cab online in Udupi. 

At around 1:30 PM on November 7, the man from West Bengal searched for car rentals on Google and selected a website named "Shakti Car Rentals." Shortly after, he was contacted by someone claiming to be "Rohit Sharma," who directed him to pay a registration fee of ₹150 on the site.

After unsuccessful payment attempts via both his Canara Bank debit card and SBI credit card (without receiving an OTP), "Rohit Sharma" instructed him to pay the driver directly. But at 1:47 PM, he received messages showing deductions of ₹3.3 lakh from his SBI credit card and ₹80,056 from his Canara Bank debit card, totaling ₹4.1 lakh.

The complainant alleges fraud through a deceptive link disguised as a booking token fee. A case has been registered at Udupi Town Police Station.

Bengaluru: The Karnataka government has warned that disciplinary action will be taken against those officials who change the land mutation records and serve eviction notices to farmers under the Waqf Act.

In a letter, the Revenue Department Principal Secretary Rajender Kumar Kataria reminded all regional commissioners and deputy commissioners in the districts that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah recently had a meeting following complaints about certain land properties being made in favour of the Karnataka Board of Waqfs.

In the meeting it was decided that all the directions issued previously by any government office or authority to change the mutation records has been withdrawn, the letter said.

It added that all the notices served in the past have also been withdrawn and no action should be taken against the farmers who are cultivating on the said land.

On the directions of the chief minister, the previous letters and the latest reminders served on November 7 to the farmers and land owners have been withdraw, the letter said.

"The officials who served reminder-2 despite the chief minister's direction will face appropriate disciplinary action," Kataria said in his letter.

He said he has been instructed to strictly implement the chief minister's direction.

The fresh direction was issued in poll-bound Karnataka, where bypolls to three crucial assembly segments are due on November 13.

Some farmers in Honwad village in Vijayapura in north Karnataka had alleged last month that they were served eviction notices as the Waqf Board claimed rights over it.

Subsequently, complaints started in pouring in from some other parts of the state.

BJP leader Tejasvi Surya on October 25 alleged that Karnataka Waqf Minister B Z Zameer Ahmed Khan directed the deputy commissioners and revenue officials to register lands in favour of the Waqf Board within 15 days, which resulted in confusion.

On Surya's request, the Chairman of the Joint Committee of Parliament on the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, Jagdambika Pal visited Karnataka on November 7 and met farmers in Hubballi, Vijayapura and Belagavi districts who had alleged that their lands were marked as Waqf properties.

Udupi: Falling prey to a sophisticated a “digital arrest” scam, Prameela (39) found herself defrauded of a staggering ₹11,87,463. The plot, orchestrated through deceptive tactics, left her financially devastated.

On October 25, Prameela received a call from an unknown number claiming a parcel, allegedly sent by one Wang Ming Zi, was flagged due to containing suspicious items: 5 kg of clothes, 8 ICICI credit cards, and 700 grams of MDMA. Adding to the urgency, the caller asserted that an FIR had already been filed against her.

The caller then transferred Prameela to a supposed representative of the 'Bombay Cyber Crime Branch,' who introduced himself as Manish Kumar, claiming to be a senior executive at DTDC Mumbai. Manish directed her to connect via Skype video call, asking her to download the app and search for the ID [email protected].

Once on the call, Prameela was requested to provide her Aadhaar card details, which she complied with. She soon received what appeared to be a formal arrest order listing her name, address, and Aadhaar information. Under pressure, Prameela disclosed her bank account details and balance to the caller. Exploiting this trust, the scammer then transferred ₹11,87,463 from her account.

Following the incident, Prameela lodged a complaint with the Shirva police, who have since registered a case under sections 316(2), 318(4), 351(2) of the BNS, and 66(C), 66(D) of the IT Act. The authorities are now investigating this alarming case of digital fraud.
