Mangaluru, May 18: The police have arrested eight persons in connection with the clashes during victory celebrations of Bharatiya Janata Party on May 15 reported from Adyarpadavu on the outskirts of the city.
Police Commissioner Vipul Kumar told reporters here that the accused have been booked under various sections of the Indian Penal Code in six different cases. Police are on the lookout for many other persons involved in the incident.
While BJP workers were taking out victory procession despite prohibitory orders being in place on Wednesday, a group allegedly attacked them near a mosque at Adyarpadavu on National Highway-75 around 8.30 p.m. There was a retaliatory attack too and the police immediately brought the situation under control.
Mr. Kumar said the police were not expecting the riot to happen since the entire day of counting had passed peacefully.
He said the accused were Naushad alias Naufal, Dawood alias Dawood Hakim, Junaid alias Mohammed Junaid, Shahul Hamid, Harish Poojary, Nishant and Abhishek. All the accused have been remanded in judicial custody by a jurisdictional court till May 30, the Commissioner said.
The kidnapped schoolboy was rescued by the police and reunited with his parents. Son of a gift shop owner from Basavanagudi area in Bengaluru, Chirag has reportedly told police that decided to make some quick money to spend on cricket betting and gambling after learning kidnap tricks from the ‘Crime Patrol’. According to police, Chirag reached a private school around 3pm on Tuesday on a Bounce rental bike and zeroed in on a fourth standard student who was walking out of school. He told the boy he was his father's friend and that he required help to search for a relative who had gone missing. The boy believed Chirag and rode pillion on the bike. Chirag then engaged the boy in conversation and learnt about his father's business and got his mobile phone number. He then made a call to the boy's father, demanded Rs 5 lakh and warned him against approaching cops. However, the boy's father alerted Cottonpet police and special teams were formed to crack the case. While Cottonpet inspector Venkatesh TC's squad verified CCTV footage in and around the school, Chamarajpet inspector BG Kumaraswamy's team started tracking the suspect's mobile phone movements. An hour later, the suspect's location was traced to a hotel on the Lavelle Road-St Mark's Road stretch. Police rushed there, rescued the boy and arrested Chirag.
