Bengaluru: Rowdy shetter arrested at Kadalekai Parishe

Bengaluru: Basavanagudi police detained a rowdy sheeter, age 21, who had come to the temple during the Kadalekai Parishe.

The court had issued four warrants against the accused Pratvik, a resident of Hosakerehalli, for his arrest in several criminal instances.

The accused was remanded in judicial custody after being apprehended in 2019 for attempting to kill his rival. He was granted bail a few months later and has been on the run ever since.

On Wednesday, the Basavanagudi police waited for him at the temple in mufti and pinned him down before he could enter the temple.

Meanwhile, 86 anti-social individuals were held by CCB officials as part of a specific campaign against rowdies in preparation for the upcoming elections.
