Mangaluru, May 27: Police have averted a murder and possible communal riot by arresting four miscreants including a Bajrang Dal leader, who were part of an anti-social conspiracy in Moodbidri town on the outskirts of the city. sumith

The arrest of Sumit Raj, a prominent leader of the Moodbidri unit of Bajrang Dal, was confirmed by the police.

A resident of Daregudde, Sumit Raj had allegedly involved in the violence following the murder of Bajrang Dal leader-cum-flower vendor Prashant Poojary in Moodbidri last year. He is also known for immoral policing in the area.

He was nabbed on Wednesday night based on the information provided by three miscreants who were caught by police along with murder weapons in a Maruti Omni.

Nataraj and Raviraj from Kunjathbail and Subhash Bajrangi from Kavoor, all three aged between 25 and 35 years were arrested by a team of CCB police led by inspector Valentine D'Souza at Swaraj Maidan in Moodbidri on Wednesday. All of them were Hindutva activists, sources said.

The police also seized their Omni and lethal weapons such as matches and dagger from the miscreants.

While the trio was subjected to the rigorous interrogation it came to light that they had hatched a murder plot in Moodbidri to create a communal riot.

The trio also reportedly told the involvement of Sumit Raj in the conspiracy. This led the cops to nab him. He was produced before a court which remanded him to judicial custody. The other three are in police custody.

According to police the mastermind of the murder conspiracy was Bombay Kiran Shetty, native of Padumarpadu. Police have launched a manhunt for Sujith Shetty, a resident of Kallabettu who is also said to be part of the conspiracy.

Those who support this type of culprits doesnt represent my religion.. Those who support are his kind of fools.. Good job police.. Arrest all such idiotics and punish them.. God bless our Mangalore..

Send them to Haryana?

Bring them in front of Town Hall and execute deth penalty on them so we Kudlaitesl can live in peace and harmony

here some chaddi supporters are behaving as if the arrested goon is their hero

when incocent muslims are arrested these people rejoice

and when the real culprits like sumith are arersted they have a problem

Abhaychandra Jain... wait and watch. next time you will lose deposit.

Police never avert the murder of Hindus, be it common man or leaders. Prashant poojary was murdered in broad daylight by the anti national islamist forces. Where the hell were these police then? Now they arrested an innocent Bajrang Dal leader and these rubbish media make laud noise and level false allegations against him.

They might have had planned to prevent cattle trafficking or eliminate a terrorist like yasin Bhatkal. Police following the guidance of muslim ministers of Congi govt.

Police should have made these arrests soon after they unleashed violence after the murder of an eve teaser by some miscreants. Congress govt should wake up at least now and arrest goons of both Hindu and Muslim communities especially in Dakshina Kannada and leave them handicapped. That's the only way to restore peace in the region.

Shameless creatures. What a criminal mentality! Well done police
