Mangaluru, Apr 2: A kind of dissatisfaction is fuming up among the citizens of coastal Karnataka noticing the probable ‘conspiracy of silence’ among the concerned government authorities regarding the recent sexual abuse of a three-and-half-year old nursery student by a 35-year-old school van driver of Mangalore One School, Thokkottu.

A team of activists comprising the members of ‘Justice for Baby Nirbhaya Team (JFBNT), Mangaluru’ met Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah in Bengaluru and urged him to take action against the school, which tried to defend the rapist and leveled false allegations against the innocent child.

The team along with Health and Family Welfare Minister U T Kader submitted a memorandum to the CM requesting him to instruct the authorities concerned to speed up the action and give justice to the little girl. The delegation also met Home Minister K.J. George, Education Minister Kimmane Ratnakar, KPCC President Parameshwar and MLA J.R. Lobo and urged them to pressurizes the concerned authorities to speed up the action.

The delegation thanked Mr Khader for accompanying the activists and felicitating the meetings with CM and other ministers.

The delegation later held a press conference in Bengaluru Press Club and said expressed disgust over the careless attitude of the management of Mangalore One School.

“The awful act of the child abuser has traumatized the entire coastal Karnataka. Moreover, even after several days of the incident, no proper action has been initiated against the school,” they said.

The memorandum includes following demands:

1. Police department not to come under any kind of political pressure and carry out a impartial enquiry into this case and make sure justice is prevailed. Ensure that the culprit or culprits do not escape and to take action against culprits under POCSO (Protection of Children from Sexual offences) act.

2. District Administration and Education Department has to proceed with immediate actions as per the provisions of protection of child rights act.

3. In view of the slow process in handling this case, notice should be issued to concerned authorities to speed up the enquiry process. Child abuse / sexual assault cases are to be settled through special courts within a time period of six months and make sure the culprit or culprits are punished without delay.

4. As many of the school managements in the State are not abiding the regulations of child rights protection act, Government has to analyze this situation and collect the proper information in this matter. An enquiry commission has to be set up to look into this issue and implement strict disciplinary measures on school managements for violating the rules of child rights protection act.

5. Awareness regarding POCSO act and protection of child rights act has to be created among the people, society and the institutions through wide range of discussions, sessions and presentations as a measure to prevent child sexual abuse.

6. Ensure the safety of the children in schools in Mangaluru and entire Karnataka.

7. Full security for the family of Baby Nirbhaya, who was sexually abused by school van driver on March 13.

Mangaluru: A Mangaluru-based entrepreneur fell victim to a WhatsApp fraud, losing ₹2.7 lakh to a scammer posing as a supplier of recycled plastic granules.

The victim, who owns a unit in the Baikampady Industrial Area, was first contacted on July 24 by an individual claiming to be a granule manufacturer based in Maharashtra. The scammer, identifying himself as Nirmal Shah and representing "Zaveri Plastics," resurfaced on November 22 with a business proposal.

In need of raw materials, the entrepreneur placed an order for one metric tonne of Natural Film Grade RP Granules and transferred ₹2.7 lakh in instalments between November 25 and 28. The scammer provided invoices and a transport receipt, claiming the goods were dispatched via Balaji Transport and would arrive on November 29.

When the delivery didn’t materialize, the entrepreneur discovered that all contact numbers, including those for the transporter and driver, were unreachable. Further inquiries revealed no ties between the scammer and the legitimate Zaveri Plastics.

A case has been registered at Panambur police station, and investigations are ongoing.

In a stark reminder of the growing menace of cyber fraud, a man was duped of ₹46 lakh after falling prey to a fake stock market trading scam orchestrated via WhatsApp. The incident highlights the need for heightened awareness about online financial schemes and the importance of verifying investment opportunities.

How the Scam Unfolded
The victim reported receiving a WhatsApp message from a person posing as "Shraddha Belani," a supposed representative of ARES Management Corporation. The fraudster lured the victim with promises of a 500% profit through stock market trading. Trusting the offer, the victim followed an online registration link and was added to a WhatsApp group named ‘H 777 ARES Stock Exchange Group.’

The scam began small, with the victim transferring ₹2 lakh on October 24 to purchase stocks. He received a ₹50,000 profit the very next day, creating a false sense of trust. Encouraged by this, the victim made phased investments totaling ₹46 lakh.

The Trap Tightens
The fraud came to light on November 29 when the victim attempted to withdraw ₹20 lakh to meet financial needs. Unable to access his funds, he contacted the scamsters, who demanded an additional ₹8.78 lakh to "unlock" his account. At this point, the victim realized he had been duped and promptly filed a complaint via the Cyber Crime Portal.

Police Action and Awareness Message
A case has been registered at the Mangaluru Cyber Economic & Narcotics Crime (CEN) station, and an investigation is underway. Authorities are urging the public to exercise caution while engaging in online financial transactions and to verify the authenticity of investment opportunities before parting with their money.

Avoid Falling Victim

  1. Verify Sources: Never trust unsolicited messages, emails, or calls about investments.
  2. Beware of Unrealistic Promises: Offers of guaranteed high returns are often fraudulent.
  3. Consult Experts: Always seek advice from trusted financial advisors or institutions.
  4. Report Suspicious Activity: Use the Cyber Crime Portal to report scams promptly.

The incident serves as a stark warning against the perils of online fraud. Staying vigilant and skeptical can save you from falling into similar traps.
