Farmers fall victim to cyber fraud through APK files: CI Jayanna issues warning
Pattikonda (Kurnool): Cybercriminals have launched a new wave of fraud by luring citizens—particularly farmers—into downloading malicious 'APK files' (Android Application Package files). Pattikonda Circle Inspector (CI) Jayanna cautioned that unsuspecting farmers are being cheated through fake links disguised as government schemes, refund updates, and agricultural benefits. Once these files are installed, fraudsters gain full control over the victims' mobile phones, leading to severe financial losses. According to Jayanna, fraudsters are targeting farmers by circulating attractive messages through WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook, and Instagram. Many of these links appear in the name of PM Kisan benefits, urgent document verifications, delivery updates, and digital KYC requests. Believing them to be genuine, some farmers unknowingly download APK files. The malicious apps then seek multiple permissions such as access to SMS, contacts, call logs, storage, and notifications. Granting these allows cybercriminals to steal personal data, bank details, and even OTPs linked to financial transactions. CI Jayanna warned that in several cases, hackers have misused this access to withdraw money from bank accounts and misuse private information. Farmers, online shoppers, the elderly, and students are increasingly becoming soft targets due to limited awareness of such scams. In certain instances, criminals have even accessed phone cameras and microphones to collect private visuals for blackmail. The police appealed to farmers and the public not to download apps from unknown links or share OTPs with strangers. Only applications from the official Play Store should be trusted. Any suspicious apps must be uninstalled immediately. Victims of cyber fraud are advised to dial the cybercrime helpline 1930 or lodge complaints at the nearest police station. CI Jayanna underlined that in today's digital age, 'Alertness is the only shield against cyber theft.'

Woman & two daughters jump into tank, die in Karnataka
Chikkaballapur: In a tragic incident near Chikkaballapur, a woman and her two young daughters died by suicide after jumping into Rangadhama tank late Thursday evening. The deceased are Lavanya, 30, and her daughters Niharika, 10, and Neha, 6, residents of Bodhagaanahalli in Chikkaballapur taluk. According to police sources, Lavanya, her husband Jayanna and their children visited a school earlier in the day to discuss admission for the two girls. After speaking with school authorities, the family returned home. Later, Jayanna left for farming in their field, while Lavanya stayed back with the children. Jayanna is said to have tried to contact Lavanya that afternoon but received no response. When he returned home in the evening and found the house empty, he initially assumed they had gone out for errands. But as night fell and there was still no sign of them, he began searching in the village with the help of neighbours. The following morning, just as Jayanna was preparing to file a missing-person complaint, villagers spotted their bodies floating in Rangadhama tank. Villagers said they were no aware of any major differences between Lavanya and Jayanna. However, a minor argument is said to have happened Thursday over their financial struggles, particularly the challenge of paying school fees for their daughters. Police suspect Lavanya may have taken the extreme step following this argument, allegedly pushing the children into the tank before ending her own life.
