Mangaluru, Jun 15: The Mangaluru city police have finally managed to arrest notorious underworld rowdy Asgar Ali, who had fled to Dubai in 2007 on a fake passport.

A native of Ullal on the outskirts of Mangaluru, Asgar is an accused in at least 9 criminal cases including 2 sensational murder cases.

He was picked up today from Uppala of Kasaragod district of Kerala by police team led by Kankanady police inspector Jagadeesh and PSI Shyamsundar based on credible information that he has come to India.

The police have also arrested two of Asgar’s alleged aides – Nawaz and Rasheed  –  who allegedly made fake passport for him.

In 2005 Asgar was allegedly involved in murder of notorious rowdy Pollali Anantu. He was involved in murder of Target Group Illyas, another rowdy.

City police chief Sandeep Patil said that Asgar was in Dubai, and along with Dawood and others hatched conspiracy to kill. Also, after murder, he arranged hideout for accused in Mumbai. He was involved in many cases along with Rashid Malabari and he also had made threat calls for ransom, Patil said.

Patil said that detailed interrogation will be done about his activities in Dubai. Further investigation is underway to learn as to how many such fake passports they are involved in and unearth the fake passport racket.

Bengaluru, Feb 14: BJP leader and Karnataka Revenue Minister R Ashok refused to comment on the Bellary car accident case, allegedly involving his son, saying that the matter was still under investigation and that they did not have anything to do with the said car.

The car crash took place on February 10, when a speeding red Mercedes Benz allegedly driven by Ashok's son rammed into a tea stall by the roadside killing two people. While a 16-year-old boy Ravi died on the spot, one of the car's passengers was also killed in the accident.

"I came to know about the incident and also heard that two people have died and a few others have sustained injuries. Everybody is equal under the law. It is not fair to comment as a minister when the case is being investigated," Ashok told reporters here on Thursday.

However, the minister avoided answering questions about his son's presence in the car and said that they had "no connection" with the car.

"The case is in the investigation stage, I don't want to comment on anything. My son's name is not present in the FIR. We have no connection with the car," he said.

Superintendent of Police CK Baba told reporters that Ashok's son was not present in the car.

"There was no senior BJP leader and Revenue Ministers's son in the car. We will not hide anything and the case will be investigated," Baba said.
