Kundagola
In a concerning incident in Yarinarayanapura village, Kundagola, Mallavva Ashoka Mullahalli discovered that ₹64,000 from her KVG bank account was transferred online without any notification. Despite not receiving any messages on her mobile phone or being asked for an OTP, multiple unauthorized money transfers took place. A case has been registered at the Kundagola police station regarding this incident. The unauthorized transactions occurred in connection with a land purchase, where Mallavva’s thumb impression was reportedly used in the sub-registrar’s office at Kundagola. However, she asserts that her thumb impression was not given again, and she did not receive any suspicious calls or requests for OTP. Mallavva recounted that a total of seven money transfers, amounting to ₹64,000, were made without any notification from the bank. The only message received was about the deposit of money under the Grilahakshmi Yojana. The matter came to light when she visited the bank to access her funds. Additionally, ₹1,500 was transferred from the account of Basavaraja Horatti, who sold the land to Mallavva. However, neither Mallavva nor Horatti received any messages about these transactions. Upon inquiry at the bank, Mallavva was told by the bank manager not to disclose the matter and assured that the money would be refunded. The incident has left Mallavva and her husband Ashoka distressed, as their hard-earned money seems to have been lost without any trace. Mallavva expressed disbelief that the funds accumulated from their limestone business and labor are now missing from their account. The police are investigating the case to determine the source and motive behind the unauthorized transactions.
