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.

Udupi, Jan 16: Admar Mutt Junior seer Eshapriya Theertha Swami is all set to take over the reins of Krishna Mutt during the 250th Paryayotsava, scheduled to be held on January 17 and 18.

The uniqueness lies in the fact that the Admar Mutt, one of the Ashta Mutts of Krishna Mutt in this Temple town Udupi, ushers in the new Paryaya cycle (32nd). The Paryaya of outgoing seer Vidyadheesha Theertha Swami of Palimaru Mutt, Admar’s dwandwa (associate) mutt, marks the end of the cycle of eight mutts.

Under the system initiated by the Madhwa philosopher and saint Madwacharya, the seers of Ashta mutts would take turns to worship Lord Krishna every two months. Seer Vadiraja (1481-1601) ended the system and introduced the system of f running the temple administration once in two years.
