Bangalore: The Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) has reported a strong response to its one-time settlement (OTS) scheme for clearing pending water bills. On Sunday, the board announced that it had already collected 12.1 crore from the first set of 56,765 notices sent to consumers. This early result shows that many people are willing to pay their dues when they are given a clear and simple way to do so.

The OTS scheme started on April 6 and will remain open for three months. It is designed to help consumers settle their outstanding water bills by paying only the main amount, while receiving relief on the interest charges. BWSSB officials believe this approach is encouraging more people to come forward and clear their dues without feeling burdened.

After reviewing old records, BWSSB identified more than 2.8 lakh consumers who are eligible for the scheme, out of a total of over 3.7 lakh cases. So far, the board has printed and sent more than 2.1 lakh customized notices to different sub-divisions across Bengaluru. These notices contain details of the pending amount and instructions on how to take advantage of the scheme.

To manage such a large number of notices, BWSSB has outsourced the printing work to an external agency. This agency is currently producing around 50,000 notices every two days. The board expects all remaining notices to be delivered by May 10, ensuring that every eligible consumer gets a chance to benefit from the scheme within the given time frame.

The main goal of BWSSB is to recover over 471.5 crore in unpaid principal amounts. At the same time, it is offering a waiver of about 252.3 crore in interest charges. This move not only helps the board recover a large amount of money but also provides financial relief to consumers who may have struggled to pay their bills due to accumulated interest over time.

BWSSB Chairman Ram Prasath Manohar said the response so far shows that people trust systems that are transparent and easy to use. According to him, when consumers feel respected and are given fair options, they are more likely to cooperate. He encouraged all eligible citizens to make use of this opportunity and settle their dues within the scheme period.

Overall, the OTS scheme is expected to benefit both the public and the board. Consumers can clear their pending bills without heavy interest, while BWSSB can strengthen its financial position. This improved revenue will also help the board provide better water supply and sewerage services across Bengaluru in the future.

Bengaluru | April 2026

In a shocking incident that has sent waves across the city, a 27-year-old woman has been arrested for allegedly murdering her boyfriend in what police describe as a premeditated act carried out under the guise of a staged interaction.

According to investigators, the incident occurred at the woman’s residence in the western part of Bengaluru. The victim, also 27, had reportedly been invited over by the accused, who suggested a surprise activity to gain his trust. Authorities believe the situation was deliberately designed to make the victim vulnerable.

Police sources indicate that during the interaction, the man was blindfolded and restrained. What he believed to be a consensual setup soon turned into a fatal situation. Investigators allege that the accused then used a flammable substance and set him on fire, resulting in severe burn injuries that led to his death.

One of the most disturbing aspects of the case is the alleged recording of the incident. Officials state that the accused captured parts of the act on her mobile phone, which later became a critical piece of evidence during the investigation.

Initially, the case was suspected to be a suicide or accidental fire. However, inconsistencies at the scene raised suspicions, prompting a deeper probe. Forensic analysis and digital evidence reportedly played a significant role in uncovering the sequence of events and shifting the case toward a murder investigation.

Authorities suspect that the crime may have been motivated by personal issues within the relationship, including possible disputes or emotional conflict. While the exact motive is still under investigation, police believe the act was planned in advance.

The accused has been taken into custody, and legal proceedings are underway. Officials have indicated that relevant sections pertaining to murder and criminal conspiracy are likely to be invoked as the case develops further.

The incident has sparked concern among residents, highlighting issues of trust and safety in personal relationships. Police have assured that a thorough investigation is being conducted to ensure justice is served.

Further updates are expected as more details emerge in the coming days.
