The contest was between BJP candidate @CKRBJP Ramamurthy (ex-corporator) and INC candidate @Sowmyareddyr (incumbent MLA and daughter of congress leader Ramlinga Reddy).
As the counting of votes progressed, it was apparent that the margin of victory in #Jayanagar would be small.

Sowmya Reddy’s lead of a mere 160 votes was prematurely celebrated as a victory by Congress party. BUT there was no certificate of victory issues by the EC authorities.
What happened internally was very different - a rule in the ECI handbook for counting came into force.

A class 12 passout, former security officer and self taught cybergeek from Hyderabad, Shrinivas Rao Dadi, masterminded a nationwide cyberfraud with a turnover of Rs 3 crore a day. The money was being converted into #cryptocurrency and sent to #China. So, how did he do it? 
There was a hierarchy to how the scamsters operated. Some of them called up citizens, posing as policemen and flashing fake ID cards, over WhatsApp and Skype. Women were targetted the most. In Delhi, one of the scamsters made a video call to a woman, dressed in a khaki uniform.
The victims were told that a parcel he/she had sent by courier was found containing drugs. The terrified victims were deceived into downloading apps, such as Anydesk, that provided the scamster with remote access to his phone screen.

आज मला Static Electric Shock चा आलेला अनुभव.
गेल्या काही दिवसापासून बेंगलोर आणि म्हैसूर या शहरामध्ये Static Electric Shock चे प्रमाण वाढले आहे. आजच मी एका मित्राला स्पर्श केल्यावर मला पण त्याचा झटका बसला. पण हे असे का होते त्यामगील शास्त्रीय कारण जाणून घेऊया. 👇

हा शॉक असा असतो की जेव्हा पण एखादा माणूस दुसऱ्या वस्तूला खासकरून मेटल बॉडी ला स्पर्श करतो किंवा दुसऱ्या माणसाला स्पर्श करतो तेव्हा त्या माणसाला करंट लागल्यासारखा वाटतो.हे होण्यामागे कारण असे की प्रत्येक माणसाची बॉडी ही Atom (अणू) पासुन बनलेली असते.👇
त्यामध्ये इलेक्ट्रॉन (-) प्रोटॉन (+) आणि न्युट्रोन (neutral)असते.यात सर्व अणुंचे प्रमाण हे balance राखण्यासाठी समान असते. पण जेव्हा पण शरीराच्या बाहेरील तापमान, हवेचा दाब किंवा वेगवेगळे रेडिएशन मुळे याचे प्रमाण अचानक कमी जास्त होते.👇

Within a week, I was engaged, and just three days later, I was married to a man I met on my wedding day for the first time. The night after the wedding, he tried to pin me down forcefully. One year later, I got to know he was autistic.
I filed for divorce. My family declared me a burden.
The next subsequent alliance was precisely the kind of guy I wanted. He assured me that he was ready to accept me for who I was. This could be a new chapter in my life.
