Mngaluru, Jan 7: In two separate operations sleuths of Central Crime Branch (CCB) of Mangaluru City Police have arrested eight notorious associates of underworld don Vikki Shetty alias Balakrishna Shetty.
M Chandra Sekhar, the Commissioner of Mangaluru City Police, who revealed this to media persons on Thursday at his office, said that a country made pistol, five live ammunition, four swords, eight mobile phones and two cars were received from the accused.
The arrests were made when the accused were planning a major dacoity or attack.
Chandra Sekhar said while six associates - Gaurish, 26; Jayesh, 23; Naveen Shetty, 34; Praveen Kumar, 26; Harshith, 22; and Guruprasad, 30; were nabbed in front of an orphanage at Marakada village, Gundu Rao Lane while they were waiting in two cars, another team picked up Sachin Gowda, 31, and Pawan Shetty, 21, while they were wandering around near Keerthi Mahal Lodge, near KSRTC bus station at Bejai.
Describing the catch as a "good operation," Sekhar said most of the accused have previous records against them. Sachin, from whom the country made pistol was seized, is wanted in murder of Rajesh in 2004 in Urwa PS limits as well as a case of dacoity in 2014 in Mangaluru Rural PS limits. Pawan is wanted in the murder of Durgaprasad Shetty in 2004 in Mangaluru South PS limits, he said adding the arrests were carried out based on reliable information.
Likewise, Gaurish is an accused in Vikram Boloor murder case registered in Ullal PS in 2015, while Jayesh, Naveen and Praveen were arrested in the Prashanth murder case registered in 2013 at Mangaluru South PS. Noting that the trio were out on bail, Sekhar said they had resumed their criminal activities once again. The exact reasons why the teams, split in to two had gathered in the city will be ascertained during interrogation as part of the investigations, he said.
Announcing a cash award of Rs 15,000 to CCB team lead by Police Inspector Valentine D'Souza, Sekhar directed the deputy commissioners of police K M Shantharaju and Sanjeev M Patil to show the same diligence in ensuring that these arrests are carried to their logical conclusion as was shown in gathering intelligence. The city police will also strive to neutralize the firearms route, which he said could have been be sourced from either from Uttar Pradesh or Madhya Pradesh.

Good job guys! new commissioner of police, in this short period of time....good encouraging achievement and job well done....hats off to you....
Naren Kotian needs special treatment in Kankanady Hospital OR by Gundas, then only he will stop his nonsense.
Hahaha Nadir saabre.. entha maathu... bhesh bhesh..
But for your kind information.. as the name itself suggests Indian is Hindustan.. a Hindu nation. here any activity against Hindus is considered as anti-national activity. If you have any problem with the law of the majority people of Bharath kindly stop bothering about Indian and start bothering about Pakistan (am sure i dont need to give this suggestion. coz u r already thinking about pakistan :p)
If the accused is a Hindu, carrying weapons like pistol and swords is not a major crime. they are just petty miscreants. If accused was a muslim even a small CD or a book is more than enough to brand him as a terrorist
