The case was registered at Mangaluru East Traffic police station, where Taslim allegedly directed the complainant to bring the car and its documents, and the complainant complied. However, the complainant later alleged that Taslim demanded a bribe of Rs 50,000 to release the car. When the complainant informed his advocate, the lawyer visited the police station and requested the release of the vehicle. Though Taslim had the complainant sign an acknowledgement claiming the vehicle was returned, the car was not handed over. Taslim allegedly took the complainant's mobile phone by force and released the car only afterwards. Later, when the complainant asked for his phone to be returned, Taslim reportedly repeated his Rs 50,000 bribe demand, adding that the complainant must also submit his original driving licence. The complainant handed over the licence, but Taslim allegedly used another staff member, head constable Vinod, to communicate that the licence would only be returned after paying Rs 30,000. On Wednesday, when the complainant visited the station again, Taslim allegedly told him to pay Rs 10,000 to retrieve his licence. When the complainant replied he only had Rs 500, Taslim reportedly shouted at him, telling him not to return without Rs 5,000. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The complainant, unwilling to pay a bribe for a lawful govt service, filed a complaint with the Mangaluru Lokayukta police. Following this, a case was registered against Taslim. On Thursday, Taslim was caught red-handed while accepting a Rs 5,000 bribe from the complainant in a trap laid by the Lokayukta police.

Iran claims downing of Israeli F-35, says female pilot captured
Listen to article The Iranian military says it has shot down an Israeli F-35 fighter jet in western Iran, in what could mark a major escalation in regional tensions. According to state-affiliated Taslim news , Iran's air defence forces intercepted and destroyed what they described as a 'hostile Zionist regime aircraft' late Friday night. The jet was reportedly detected in Iranian airspace before being targeted by surface-to-air missile systems. The pilot, initially listed as missing, was said to have ejected from the aircraft. On Saturday afternoon, Iranian sources claimed that the pilot — reportedly a woman — had been captured by army ground force commandos and taken into custody. There has been no immediate comment from Israeli authorities. The circumstances of the reported incursion, the exact location, and the status of the pilot remain unclear. Independent verification has not been possible. This incident, if confirmed, would mark the first known downing of a fifth-generation Israeli warplane over Iranian territory.
