Bengaluru, Nov 6: A 26-year-old woman, who is said to have conned at least 150 people in various parts of the country and has had several run-ins with the police, is now cooling her heels behind bars for cheating a city advocate.

Kushbu SharmaKushbu Sharma, a native of Jaipur in Rajasthan and a school dropout, used to pose as a Supreme Court lawyer, an IAS?officer, CEO of a well-known software firm, a top celebrity and at times as daughter of a politician to cheat her victims.

On Friday, the Pulakeshi Nagar police arrested her for cheating advocate Sanketh Yenagi. Kushbu met Sanketh and introduced herself as a lawyer practising in the Supreme Court and expressed her wish to join his firm, the police said. After learning that Sanketh was looking for a bigger office space, Kushbu offered to help him get an office on rent in UB City.

She had also told Sanketh that her father was a retired IAS officer and owned a share in UB City. Sanketh entered into an agreement with her and fixed the rent based on the percentage of profit he would earn from his work. On October 28, they completed the formalities and Sanketh paid her Rs 1.35 lakh, said the police.

A few days ago, Sanketh went to meet his associate in the court and asked Kushbu who accompanied him to wait in his car. When he returned after sometime, he found her missing with his coat which had a wallet containing Rs 25,000, an iPhone and a suitcase with documents. He tried calling her but her mobile was switched off. He went home and while surfing the internet, he checked on her and discovered that she was a career con woman.

He later lodged a complaint and informed the police about her past record.

“Meanwhile, the police who were tracking her mobile phone found that she was travelling near Chittoor in Andhra Pradesh. But they lost the signal as she switched off the mobile phone. While Sanketh received a call from Kushbu from another phone number, she told him she wanted more money to refurbish the office and asked him to meet her. She had not realised that Sanketh by now knew her past,” a senior police officer said.

Sanketh asked her to meet him near his office in Pulakeshinagar.

“On Friday evening, when she came to meet him, plainclothes men arrested her. She kicked up a ruckus claiming that she was from a well-known family and that they would land in the soup if they troubled her,” added the officer.

The police have recovered Rs 1.2 lakh from her.

Kushbu claimed that she lost her right hand in a train accident.

She was residing in a paying guest accommodation in Indiranagar and had told the PG?owner she was a lawyer.

She had obtained a fake degree certificate and spoke fluent English.

She used her attractive personality to cheat people in Mumbai, Pune, Rajasthan and other places, police said.

Recently, she was arrested by the Mumbai Police for cheating a man.

She was arrested by several state police, but she came out on bail and continued cheating people, said the police.

Bengaluru, Jun 27: Announcing Karnataka’s ambitious plan to install a 108-ft-tall statue of Nadaprabhu Kempegowda outside the airport, deputy chief minister Ashwath Narayan said the government will bear the project cost — approximately Rs 78 crore.

Work on the project will formally commence with the chief minister laying foundation stone for installation of the statue and development of a 23-acre park where it will come up, on Saturday.

How soon we get a coronavirus vaccine depends on not only the pace of work in research labs, but also the preparedness of factories supplying glass vials, stoppers and syringes

A look at the factors that may determine the severity of infection

An artist’s impression of the 108-ft-tall statue, which is proposed to come up in a 23-acre park outside KIA. The chief minister will perform bhoomi puja on Saturday.

KPCC president DK Shivakumar on Thursday suggested the cost be borne by Kempegowda International Airport and not the government. He wrote to the CM welcoming the decision to erect a statue of the chieftain at KIA, but asked why should the govenment spend on it. “When huge concessions have been provided to KIA, why not use its services to construct the statue,” he asked. Narayan, who is chairman of Kempegowda Development Authority, said it is the government’s duty to bear the cost.

The government has released sketches of the statue and a blueprint of the park. Noted sculptor Ram Sutar, who designed the Gandhi statue located between Vidhana Soudha and Vikasa Soudha and the Statue of Unity in Gujarat, will be part of this project as well.

Narayan said the government was not competing with any other state on having a tallest/largest statue while emphasising that Kempegowda ensured the city had tanks, markets and drainage system when it was founded. He added the government won’t invite many guests to Saturday’s ceremony. “Most legislators will be given a virtual link to view the event,” he said.

When the economic situation is very bad they are wasting people's money on these things now! These statues can be built when the peoples' basic things are first fulfilled. The title of this topic should be "People to bear the burden of Rs.78 crore", there is nothing like governments money, it's all belong to people.

New Delhi, Feb 24: A book on the history of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will become a part of a course in the Islamic University of Indonesia, as the party’s two consecutive victories in India’s general elections has evoked interest among academicians, a faculty member said.

The book, titled Bhartiya Janata Party — Past, Present & Future, Story of World’s Largest Political Party and written by Shantanu Gupta, will become a part of the syllabus for undergraduate students of South Asian studies in the Department of International Relations.

Hadza Min Fadhli, a faculty member at the university, said there was a rising interest in the BJP’s rise among academicians in Indonesia, especially after the party won two general elections in India.

He said the book would be part of the syllabus for undergraduate courses in South Asian studies in the Department of International Relations.

Mr. Hadza said he got to know about the book during a recent visit to India as part of the Kautilya Fellowship programme, organised by the India Foundation. “We in Indonesia intend to further strengthen our relations with India. Therefore, it is important to understand its ruling party. We expect the BJP would also intend to do the same,” Mr. Hadza said.

When asked about the book being selected to be a part of a course in an Indonesian university, Mr. Gupta said global recognition of his work is immensely satisfying.

This book chronicles the history of the BJP which, Mr. Gupta said, described the saffron party as the latest political manifestation of the various nationalist movements that the country has seen.

Mr. Gupta has authored five other books, including a biography of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and a book on football in India.
