Bengaluru, Feb 3: A 32-y e ar-old private firm employee, who was searching for a suitable match for his younger sister on matrimonial websites, was cheated of Rs 1.2 lakh by a tech-savvy gang.

Saurabh Kumar Nema, a resident of Jakkasandra Extension, approached Koramangala police on Thursday and filed a complaint against two people, including the man who posed as prospective bridegroom.

Nema said he uploaded his sister's profile on a matrimonial site recently. A person, who had created a profile on the matrimonial site in the name of Krishna Mahendra, evinced interest in Nema's sister.

"Saurabh agreed to the proposal as Mahendra posed as a doctor settled in the US. They exchanged contact numbers and kept messaging on WhatsApp. Mahendra informed him that he would reach Bengaluru in February and the engagement could be held once he reaches India," said police.

Meanwhile, Mahe ndra told Saurabh that he had sent a costly gift for his sister. Saurabh received a call from a woman claiming to be a customs department official on January 25, who said a gift addressed to him had reached her. She asked him to pay Rs 28,000 as customs duty.

Saurabh made the payment to a bank account provided by the woman and a day later, he received another call seeking Rs 95,000 towards various charges and taxes to release the gift. Saurabh paid the money, but realised that he had been cheated after the gift did not reach his house. A hunt is on for the miscreants.

Saurabh is really a fool to trust unknown persons.  We are receiving such news on daily basis and this person trusted them.   What a shame.  Now who is to be blamed.    Jago mere bhai jago.  Chaukidar hi chore hai to praja ka kya haal hoga.    Hindustan sirf Bhagwan bharose chal rahi hai warna ander se khali hai.  Sab paisa swiss bankon me chali gayi.  LUteron ko croron ke saath pahle se hi bhaga diye and baad me bade lutere jaakar share karega.    Aap bas dekhte hi rahiyega.

Thiruvananthapuram, Feb 11: In a unique form of protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), a bridegroom in Kerala, Haja Hussain, came for his wedding ceremony riding on a camel holding an anti-Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) poster in his hands, on the outskirts of the capital city on Monday.

Accompanied by a large crowd mostly comprising his friends and relatives, Hussain carried a placard which read "Reject CAA, Boycott NRC and NPR" as he arrived at the wedding hall in Vazhimukku, about 20 km from Thiruvananthapuram, on a camel back.

Haja Hussain said that he chose to do this to express his protest against the CAA.

"Along with the ' mahr' (the custom where the groom hands over gold or money to the bride), I also gave a copy of the Constitution. CAA should be rejected," said Haja Hussain, who is a local businessman.

Bengaluru, May 15: With lockdown-3 coming to an end in a couple of days, Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa on Friday expressed confidence about the Centre announcing relaxation to "many things" after May 17.

"After May 17, the government of India is going to relax so many things, let us wait for it," he said in response to a question from reporters here. "According to me they (centre) will relax everything.... maybe for things like five-star hotels and others they may not give permission for the time being, but for other things they are going to give permission. Let's wait and see."

The nationwide lockdown was initially imposed from March 25 to April 14, then extended to May 3 and again to May 17 to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus. Karnataka Tourism Minister C T Ravi on Wednesday had hinted at the state government permitting the opening of gyms, fitness centres and golf courses, also certain hotels for local tourism purpose after May 17, when the third phase of the COVID-19 induced lockdown comes to an end.

The Muzrai department (in charge of the administration of temples) was also planning to have a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) in place, that needs to be followed at temples once they are opened for the public, officials have said. They said the opening of temples for the public is however subject to the MHA (Ministry of Home Affairs) guidelines.

During the recent video conferencing Prime Minister Narendra Modi had with Chief Ministers of various states, Yediyurappa had proposed doing away with district wise colour-coding and instead advocated strict cordoning of containment zones to control the spread of the pandemic.

He had pitched for resuming all economic activities in stand-alone establishments while continuing the restrictions on malls, cinema halls, dining facilities and establishments with centrally controlled air-conditioning. The CM had suggested that 50 to 100 meters around known clusters be declared as containment zones and commercial activities, including public transport, to be allowed in non- containment zones.
