Mangaluru, Nov 23: The police have arrested two members of the notorious Target Gang for their alleged involvement in a murder in Ullal on September 2.

The police gave the names of arrested persons as Illiyas, one of the leaders of the Target Gang and his alleged associate Sumro Imran. While Illiyas was arrested from a flat in Jeppu, Imran was arrested from a lodge near Dadar Railway Station in Mumbai.

Soon thereafter, he was booked under the Goonda Act (The Karnataka Prevention of Dangerous Activities of Bootleggers, Drug offenders, Gamblers, Goondas, Immoral Traffic Offenders and Slum Grabbers Act, 1985) in 2014. Following his release, Illiyas, in association with Imran, was involved in the murder of Dawood in Ullal on September 2. They both went absconding.

The police said that Illiyas was an accused in 25 criminal cases, including dacoity and attempt to murder in Mangaluru Bajpe police, Udupi’s Padubidri police and Uttara Kannada’s Yellapur police limits. Non-bailable warrants (NBWs) had been issued against him by courts for non-appearance in four cases. Imran is an accused in nine criminal cases and is facing NBWs for non-appearance in three cases, the police said.

You seem to know them well Ibrahim, and we apreciate your concern so much,

I suggest you help the law, and also give the name of the people they have for setting free to media.

I believe that all criminals should be given fair trials, regardless of religion @ Ganesh we shouldn’t support fake encounter of even RSS, bajarangdal goons or Muslim Christian rowdy’s scums… or else lawlessness will prevail and people with power will start killing without being questioned…

These people will come out soon. They have people for setting free

Still many goons are there. Many of them are Bajrangdal people

Why govt have to save these kind of waste people. Should give capital punishment or jailed for lifelong. They should not come out

All goons should be encountered.
