Bengaluru, Aug 9: A 28-year-old private firm employee in Whitefield alleged that she was cheated of Rs 7.5 lakh by an Instagram friend and another woman who promised her financial help and gifts.

Police registered a case of cheating against David and Anitha on the basis of a complaint filed by Akshata P, a resident of Immadihalli.

Akshata alleged in the complaint that she got to know a person who identified himself as David on Instagram and they exchanged WhatsApp numbers and began chatting. Akshata told David that a father of her friend was being treated for cancer but was facing financial problems. David promised to send her a huge sum in UK currency to help her friend.

“He informed me over WhatsApp that he’d couriered the money, a handbag and perfumes. Later, he said the goods were still with the customs in Delhi and asked me to send Rs 7.5 lakh to the bank account of one Anitha to release the consignment,” she alleged in the complaint.

Akshata later received a call from another woman, who identified herself as Anitha, and said Rs 7.5 lakh had to be paid to release the courier.

Police said Akshata transferred the money to a bank account number provided by David and tried to call him to enquire about the status of the parcel. But his phone was switched off.

Possibility of imposing lockdown on house of COVID-19 patient than sealing entire area: Karnataka Minister

News Network

June 4,2020

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."
