18-year-old youth gets 30 years in jail for raping minor
The Thiruvananthapuram Principal POCSO Court has sentenced an 18-year-old youth to 30 years of rigorous imprisonment for raping a 13-year-old girl. POCSO court judge M.P. Shibu found Afzal of Perayam, Kollam, guilty of the crime and sent him to prison. The incident took place in 2024. Afzal met the minor girl through Instagram and having got hold of the location of her house, he forcibly entered it when only the minor and her eight-year-old younger sister were present. He then brutally attacked and raped the older of the two sisters. Though the younger girl cried out in alarm, it went unnoticed. The accused was arrested immediately after the incident was reported and following opposition from the prosecution, he was denied bail. The trial was completed in a year. The court accepted the prosecution's argument that since Afzal had raped a girl who was only 13, he did not deserve any mercy. The prosecution examined 28 witnesses and produced 71 documents and 16 exhibits. Public prosecutor Kattayikonam J.K. Ajithprasad and lawyer Bindu V. C. appeared for the prosecution.

Police launch awareness campaign on online investment frauds
The Mangaluru City Police have launched a massive awareness campaign to educate people not to fall prey to online investment and other frauds, that come in various forms, in the wake of increasing number of gullible people becoming victims at the hands of fraudsters. Police Commissioner Sudheer Kumar Reddy in a statement on Saturday said there was a rise in reporting of investment frauds of late. Poor people were losing their hard earned money to cyber fraudsters by falling for their promises of high returns. Therefore, the officers have created awareness messages and launched a massive campaign to educate people, he said. Criminals could target people by tricking them into investing in fake schemes with promises of high returns in a shorter period. Once people invest, the money vanishes. These scams look professional and often involve fake websites, WhatsApp / Telegram groups, celebrity endorsements, fraudulent apps/ social media advertisements, etc. Such fraudulent investment promises often contain guaranteed high returns, urgent pressure to invest, double/triple return promises, unregistered companies or agents, UPI/ crypto payment demands, fake screenshots showing fake profits etc., the police said. Police also gave examples of some real life fraud cases reported in Mangaluru that included a person from Surathkal losing a whopping ₹1.57 crore to a WhatsApp crypto group; a KPT resident losing ₹37.49 lakh through fake share market group and fake tax demands; a Panjimogaru resident losing ₹27.01 lakh via Instagram work from home scam; a person from Kankanady losing ₹30.55 lakh via Facebook share market advertisement; a Urwa resident losing ₹13.57 lakh through Telegram crypto tips and many more.
