The Mico Layout police arrested two men and a woman for allegedly extorting money from a vegetable vendor in a honey trap racket. According to the police, the woman, posing as a customer, befriended the vegetable vendor who runs a vegetable shop in BTM Layout.
On September 29, as it was heavily raining in the evening, the woman entered the vendor’s shop seeking shelter. The two started chatting, and the woman introduced herself as Fathima, a resident of NS Palya in BTM Layout. They exchanged numbers before she left and started chatting regularly.
They decided to meet on October 6, and Fathima gave him directions to her flat. The vendor did not realise that he was being recorded while they were in the flat. After some time, people started knocking on the door. When Ravi answered it, other members of the gang barged in claiming to be Fathima’s relative.

The Karnataka government has drafted a comprehensive master plan for the integrated development of Kukke Subrahmanya temple, the State’s highest revenue-generating temple managed by the Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Department. The redevelopment initiative is estimated to cost around ₹254 crore and aims to enhance infrastructure and facilities for devotees.
