Bantwal: Police personnel, during the night beat on Thursday, arrested three persons cinematically by opening fire at a car that tried to escape without stopping at Manihalla in Bantwal taluk.
The arrested are Saddam, a resident of Maripalla; Mohseen, a resident of Suratkal in Mangaluru; a Bollai resident Irshad. It is said that the Mansoor and Ammi, both residents of Farangipete, fled the scene.
Incident Details: Night beat police on Thursday ordered a red Swift car approaching from Belthangady to stop at Belthangady check-post. But, the accused drove off without paying heed to the cops' orders. Consequently, the Belthangady police passed information to Ponjalkatte police. But the men-in-car escaped even from Ponjalkatte police and drove towards Bantwal. Then the Belthangady police intimated the Bantwal police. Immediately, the Bantwal police came into action and opened fire at the car at Manihalla.
A team of police personnel lead by Bantwal probationary IPS officer Akshay M. Haake, SIs Chandrashekhar, and Prasanna signaled the car to stop at Manihalla. But the miscreants tried to escape from the police by driving on them. However, police opened fire at the car and managed to arrest three of them in a cinematic style.
According to police sources, among the arrested are Maripalla Saddam who is accused in various cases including murder and attempt to murder; while Mohseen has over 14 cases registered against him at different police stations in the district.
Two swords, one rod, chili powder, monkey cap, and ropes have been found in the car. The cops have expressed suspicion over the possibility that the accused had traveled with lethal weapons in the vehicle to conduct the robbery. The police, who are carrying out the investigation, are in search for the escaped men.
