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.

New Delhi, Apr 19: The government on Sunday prohibited the sale of non-essential items through e-commerce platforms during the ongoing lockdown, four days after allowing such companies to sale mobile phones, refrigerators and ready-made garments.

Union Home Secretary Ajay Bhalla issued an order excluding the non-essential items from sale by the e-commerce companies from the consolidated revised guidelines, which listed the exemption given to the services and people from the purview of the lockdown.

The order said the following clause -- "E-commerce companies. Vehicles used by e-commerce operators will be allowed to ply with necessary permissions" -- is excluded from the guidelines.

The previous order had said such items were allowed for sale through e-commerce platforms from April 20.

However, the reason for reversing the order is not known immediately.

Bengaluru, Jan 29: The Karnataka unit of BJP has urged the Centre and the State governments to ban the Popular Front of India (PFI) and the Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI), accusing them of harbouring terrorist tendencies.

Addressing a press meet, N Ravi Kumar, state general secretary of the party, alleged that there was a nexus between the Congress, the PFI and the SDPI.

“Recent reports have exposed the links between the PFI and the Congress,” he said, accusing Congress leader Kapil Sibal of receiving huge funds from PFI to defend their cases in the Supreme Court.

He also accused the organisations as the ones responsible for the death of 23 Hindu activists in Karnataka. Such incidents have proven that both SDPI and PFI are dubious organisations, he said.

PFI is the first kind of organization which is doing community work in all the walks of life.

and providing the helping hands to all the Indian community doing marvelous job.

this is the first organization fighting against corrupt and injustice following the principle of our father of nation mahatma Gandhi’s.

the corrupt and injustice people in the society not ready to accept their policy and trying to stop the voices of justice to the society.

I wish PFI and its sub organizations will continue to support to the society and keep the good work so that people are with you.

The whole intelligent community including European Uniion and US openly declared.

 

This is the sure end and downfall of RSS, which will never come-up again. You woke-up of peace lovers.

Thank you.

 

You people are never fit to run even a small village and how come thinking of ruling a big country.

RSS is the most active and first ever terrorist organisation in India and it should be banned first.    There is no proof of terrorist activities by SDPI and PFI.    BJP is afraid of these organisations as they give tought resistance to BJP and this is the reason why its planning to ban these organisations.    BJP is doing propoganda only.   Real thread for peace + harmoney in India by sanghis.   We should ban them first.
