Mangalore, May 19: A Surathkal based couple and their accomplices, who were arrested by Mangalore city police for misleading police by fabricating a cock and bull story to evade their debtors, have been released on bail by a city court on Friday.

Three persons - 21-year-old Swathi, who had contrived a story that her husband Srinivas Padakannaya (26), had drowned in the Phalguni at Kulur while returning home on May 11 and Padakannaya himself for feigning an incident of drowning, assault and kidnap, and Swati's father Vijayendra Rao, who supported them, were arrested by police on Thursday.

As the accused were arrested under bailable and non-cognisable sections 177 and 182 of the Indian Penal Code, the court released them on bail. Kasturi Rao, who had evaded arrest by getting admitted to a hospital, also secured bail.

The police's request seeking police custody of Srinivas Padkannaya for further investigation was turned down by the court. The police had placed the request to corroborate prime evidences which included video footage showing Srinivas Padakannaya drawing money from an SBI ATM in Sringeri on May 12 and in Murudeshwar on May 15,

The family, in order to avoid repaying loans to the tune of several lakh availed from money lenders, had staged the accidental drowning and kidnap of Srinivas Padakannaya.
