In a separate complaint, Mr Iqbal, said to be a relative of Mr Kutti, stated that Mr Khader had taken Rs 3.3 lakh from him after promising Umrah pilgrimage.

It is learnt that Mr Khader was found in a lodge in Mumbai. A team of Kotal police led by Brahmavar circle inspector Arun G Nayak and Kota sub inspector Kabbalraj arrested him.

He was produced before a court on Saturday and investigations are on. Police are trying to find out whether the accused had cheated others too.

Tours & Travels are in fact cheaters and frauds. A strict law is needed to control these cheaters.

Udupi, Jun 4: Karnataka Medical Education Minister Dr K Sudhakhar on Wednesday said that he will take up an issue before a high-powered committee on COVID-19 to find out the possibility of imposing lockdown on a particular house of the person infected with the virus instead of sealing down of entire areas.

Talking to reporters here on Tuesday after reviewing the district's prevailing COVID situation, the minister said the concept and modalities of declaring any area as containment zone has undergone changes in the last two months.

"Hitherto, we were declaring the entire area as the containment zone after detection of coronavirus positive cases. Subsequently, the area of the containment zone was decreased from the whole area to a particular street," the Minister said.

"Now, BJP MLA Raghupati Bhat has given a suggestion to seal down a particular house of the positive patient which would be taken up before the high-powered panel. The district administration concerned could supply all essential items to the particular family," he said.

He further said that the Union government has been providing all facilities to all the states to deal with the situation."
