Suspect held in WFH job scam case
Udupi: Karkala Subdivision police arrested a man from Bengaluru, who allegedly duped a person of over Rs 2 lakh through a fake work-from-home (WFH) job offer. The accused is Shridhar V,27, a resident of Yeshwanthpur, Bengaluru. Udupi SP Hariram Shankar said that during the operation, police seized items used in the crime, including a mobile phone worth Rs 10,000, three ATM cards of different banks, and cash amounting to Rs 1.7 lakh. Additionally, Rs 27,086 found in the accused's bank account was frozen. Ramesh Naik, a resident of Nalkuru village under Hebri police station limits, applied for a WFH data entry job in Dec 2024 through the Lokal Job application, after seeing an advertisement under the name Sunshine HR Solution. Following this, the complainant was contacted over mobile from many numbers, and through WhatsApp, claiming to represent the said company. Between Dec 19, 2024, and June 20 this year, the accused convinced the complainant to make multiple payments through Google Pay and PhonePe under various pretexts such as security deposit, account creation, and error modification charges, resulting in a total of 98 transactions amounting to Rs 2 lakh. Based on the complaint, a case was registered at Hebri police station invoking Section 66(D) of the IT Act and Section 318(4) of the BNS. A police team went to Bengaluru and arrested the accused on Thursday. A court has remanded him in judicial custody.

'Work From Home On Wednesdays': Bengaluru Traffic Police's Pitch To IT Firms To Beat Gridlocks
Last Updated: Bengaluru's joint commissioner of traffic, Karthik Reddy, has proposed that tech companies consider WFH on Wednesdays, which data shows is the worst day of the week for traffic As Bengaluru continues to battle the ignominy of being labelled the 'most congested city in the world", the IT capital's traffic police are now turning to the tech industry for solutions—quite literally. In a direct outreach to the city's IT giants, Bengaluru's joint commissioner of traffic, Karthik Reddy, has proposed that tech companies consider implementing 'work from home" on Wednesdays, which data shows is the worst day of the week for traffic snarls. 'This Monday we had a meeting with ORRCA (Outer Ring Road Companies Association), and we made three suggestions," Reddy told News18. 'First was staggering office timings. All companies usually start between 9 and 10 am—that's a major pressure point. We requested them to stagger start times between 7.30 am and 9.30 am to help spread out traffic." The second request was to promote public transport. 'BMTC has assured us that they will provide additional buses. We asked companies to encourage employees to use public transport," he said. The AI playbook Reddy has taken charge at a time when Bengaluru has 1 lakh to 1.1 lakh new vehicles being registered every month—a number he calls staggering. 'That's just in Bengaluru RTOs, not counting vehicles from neighbouring districts. With that kind of growth, congestion has naturally risen over the years," he said. The department is now turning to technology—including AI-powered signals and surveillance—to manage traffic in the city. 'We currently have 501 signals, of which 169 are AI-based. By year-end, we plan to add another 110 AI-enabled signals," he said. 'These systems analyse traffic density on all lanes at a junction and dynamically adjust signal timings. Over time, they learn and improve—and help us manage congestion better." Boots on the ground—and cameras in the air While AI helps, Reddy maintains that basic policing remains critical. 'There's no substitute for our people on the ground. From me to the last constable, all of us have to be visible during peak hours," he said. Bengaluru also has a growing network of ANPR and ITMS cameras, in addition to Safe City surveillance. 'Violations caught on these are immediately challaned. People think they can get away—but the system tracks them. They might delay payment, but they'll have to pay eventually," Reddy said. 'Civic sense is key' Yet, despite tech and boots on the ground, Reddy says real change can only happen if citizens step up. 'We can't have police on every corner. Basic civic sense is critical. These rules are for our safety. A single violation can endanger others," he said, adding that his department is planning a crackdown on app-based delivery riders who routinely flout traffic rules. 'We're calling for a meeting with aggregators like Zepto and Blinkit next week. We want them to sensitise their delivery staff—no riding on footpaths, no wrong-way driving, no skipping helmets. Rules apply to them too. If violations continue, we'll have a crackdown." Undoing the tag So, can Bengaluru ever shake off the 'most congested" tag? 'We are trying our best," Reddy said firmly. 'We are working on all fronts—from AI to better enforcement, from collaborating with companies to pushing for behavioural change. We are determined to reduce congestion in this city."

TD Bank is the latest company to mandate in-office work
The pandemic-era WFH experiment is ending for TD Bank staff, with a strict return‑to‑office order rolling out this fall. All employees must work on‑site at least four days a week by early November, with executives leading the charge from October 6, according to an internal memo seen by Reuters. Melanie Burns, the bank's head of HR, told employees that working in person will boost collaboration and decision making. Burns also said coming into the office could improve individuals career prospects. TD Bank joins the likes of JPMorgan Chase and the Bank of Montreal in marshalling its staff back to the office. It emerged this week, for the first time since the pandemic, more than half of Fortune 100 firms now expect employees to show up five days a week. It is a decisive repositioning with only five percent of the same companies demanding a total return to the office just two years ago in 2023. Now 54 percent of companies that make up the Fortune 100 — the biggest companies in America — are fully in-office and 41 percent are flexible. Larger companies are leading the charge, with smaller operations still favoring flexible work, the latest data has revealed. Starbucks has been among the recent household names that have demanded its corporate workers return to its Seattle headquarters for at least four days a week. Google and Amazon have also pushed their employees to come back to in-person work, citing alleged productivity benefits. Other than the biggest companies in the country, most firms are actually maintaining their flexible working policies. Some 51 percent of employees with remote-capable jobs were working hybrid in 2025, down slightly from 52 percent in 2023, according to recent data from Gallup Poll. The story looks similar for those working completely remotely, with 28 percent working exclusively at home now compared to 29 percent in 2023. Experts argue that the biggest companies in America are pushing for workers to return to the office even if they lose talent because they can afford to do so. It comes as separate data from JLL revealed that Gen Z, who have been characterized by many as work shy, are actually the most eager to get back into the office . Those born between 1997 and 2012 attend the office 3.1 days a week, compared to older age groups who show up between 2.5 and 2.7 days a week, a survey from the company found. Many Gen Z employees have only known remote or hybrid work, having entered the workforce during or after the pandemic. Prominent voices such as JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon have warned that homeworking is holding younger workers back . 'The young generation is being damaged by this,' he said in a leaked recording of a private meeting. 'They're being left behind socially, in sharing ideas, and meeting people.'
