Mangaluru, Feb 18: Sidelined Congress veteran B Janardhana Poojary has now challenged chief minister Siddaramaiah to take a truth test at either Sri Kshetra Dharmasthala or Sri Kshetra Kudroli Gokarnanateshwara that he had not opposed giving rice at Re 1 per kg, which he later made his flagship programme after assuming office.

11poojaryPoojary said that as a finance minister Siddaramaiah had opposed his proposal of distributing rice at Re 1 per kg. "As KPCC president, I suggested the Congress government implement a scheme to distribute rice at Re 1/kg, but it was opposed by Siddaramaiah who was the then finance minister.

Let him take a truth test before the deity at Dharmastala or at Kudroli about this," Poojary said, inviting the chief minister for an 'Aaane Pramaana'.

Poojary said he is ready to accept a show-cause notice from the party high command and won't mind if he's removed from the party. "I'll die happily as a Congressman even if the party expels me.

There is no question of leaving Congress. Let them expel me today, but I'll continue to be a Congressman. I'm not a politician, who jumps from one party to another for power," Poojary said.

My sincere advice to Hon'ble Mr. Poojary is to take political retirement. In case you cant do any favor to Congress please dont try to hurt it. Congress has given you a lot. Hence, please be grateful to the party and observe silence.

Bengaluru, Feb 14: Bengaluru Police on Friday said that it has busted a gang engaged in e-commerce fraud over the online marketplace who were involved in 200 of the 316 cheating cases registered last year.

"We registered 316 cases for cheating through online marketplaces last year. We have busted a gang operating from Rajasthan's Bharatpur and arrested 5 people. They are responsible for 200 out of 316 cases. We are questioning the accused," Bhaskar Rao, Commissioner of Police, Bengaluru told reporters here.

Explaining their modus operandi, the Police Commissioner said, "There were fictitious buyers and sellers on the online marketplace. These people used to call up prospective buyers and sellers. The products that were shown were two-wheelers, four-wheelers, electronic items and furniture."

"People used to send their money to these fraudsters using their QR code. The fraudsters were operating from Bharatpur in Rajasthan. A police team of 15 was sent to the place from where they were operating. Rajasthan police gave us full cooperation and we were able to arrest five persons," he added.

Rao said that these fraudsters had an idea about the loopholes in the e-commerce sector and exploited them.
"Some of those arrested were employed in the e-commerce and banking business and they had an idea about the loopholes in this sector," he said.

"We warn the citizens to ensure that they verify the antecedents of the buyers and sellers in this sector before spending money on these platforms," he added.
