  • Udupi: Man Brutally Killed by Friends Over Viral WhatsApp Audio; Three Arrested

    Udupi, August 13, 2025: A shocking murder took place in Puttur village, Subramanya Nagar, 9th Cross Road, Udupi taluk, on the night of August 12, 2025, at approximately 11:30 PM, when three individuals allegedly broke into a man’s home and killed him over a viral WhatsApp audio.

    The victim, identified as Vinay Devadiga, a 40-year-old painter and local resident, was attacked in his residence. According to police reports, Vinay had returned home around 6 PM after attending to personal work in Udupi and was resting in his room. The accused, identified as Ajit (28) and Akshendra (34) from Gandhinagar, Brahmavar, and Pradeep Acharya from Benagal, Brahmavar, forcibly entered the house and searched for Vinay. The trio attempted to seize Vinay’s mobile phone, and when he resisted, Ajit restrained him while Akshendra and Pradeep attacked him with a machete and knife, resulting in his death. The perpetrators then fled the scene on a scooter.

    Preliminary investigations suggest the motive was linked to a WhatsApp audio clip, in which Akshendra was insulted by an individual named Jeevan. Vinay had reportedly shared this audio, causing it to go viral, which allegedly provoked the accused to commit the crime.

    The Udupi Town Police have arrested the three suspects and are conducting further investigations. A case has been registered at the Udupi Town Police Station.

    On July 5, 2025, at around 10 AM, Altaf clicked a link on his Facebook account that added him to a WhatsApp group named ‘Next ***** Technology.’ In the group, a woman named Parinithi Jain (mobile: 94152*****) claimed to represent Next ******** Technology Pvt Ltd and provided share market information. Another member, Anup Tiwari (mobile: 82805*****), shared daily stock updates. On July 10, Parinithi sent Altaf a link to ‘sto***.ux***.com,’ along with login credentials to register an account.

    Trusting the company, Altaf transferred a total of ₹10.15 lakh via PhonePe and UPI to various bank accounts provided by the accused for purchasing shares and IPOs. On August 5, the website displayed his investment and profits totaling ₹75.42 lakh. However, when he attempted to withdraw the amount, his account was blocked. Parinithi informed him that a 20% commission was required, but even after requesting the remaining amount post-commission, the accused refused to comply.

    Suspecting foul play, Altaf visited the supposed company address in Bengaluru, only to discover no such company existed. Realizing he had been scammed, he filed a complaint with the Byndoor police.

    This incident highlights the growing threat of online share trading frauds, with scammers using social media and fake websites to exploit victims. Police are investigating, and the public is urged to verify the legitimacy of investment platforms before transferring funds.
