Must read

The Gnanabharati police station has apprehended a former rowdy and his accomplices who were involved in the kidnapping of the manager of the Purvansati center for ransom. The arrested individuals include former rowdy Keshavmurthy, along with his associates Madan, Surya, Prem Babu, Mohammad Tauseef, Arbaz Pasha, and Mohammad Adan Bilal from KR Nagar in Mysore district. On June 19, Santosh, the manager of Santosh Social Workers Society (Rehabilitation Center) at Kenchapura Cross, was abducted by Keshav’s gang. Fearing police investigation, the accused abandoned the abductee near the bus stand in Nanjangudu city, Mysore district, and fled. Eventually, based on technical information, Inspector Subramani and his team successfully apprehended the kidnappers. Shashidhar operates a rehabilitation center named ‘Santosh Social Workers Society’ at Kenchanpur Cross. Keshav, the former rowdy, has a previous connection with Shashidhar and had recently threatened him, demanding a weekly payment of 10 lakhs. Despite the threats, Shashidhar refused to comply with the demands. Enraged by this, Keshav, accompanied by his associates, visited the rehabilitation center on June 17. As Shashidhar was not present at the time, the accused interrogated the center manager, Santosh, about Shashidhar’s whereabouts. Eventually, they forcefully abducted Santosh in their car, intending to extort money. After some time, Keshav called Shashidhar and threatened him, stating that if he didn’t pay the demanded amount, the life of the manager would be at stake. Concerned about the abduction, Shashidhar switched off his mobile phone and went missing on the same day. When the owner and manager suddenly went missing, the staff at the rehabilitation center informed Shashidhar’s family, who promptly alerted the police. DCP West Division Laxman Nimbaragi, upon learning about the abduction, formed a team led by Inspector Subrahmani to locate the accused individuals.
