Mangaluru Court issues non-bailable warrant against former cop Jayanth Shetty in 14-year-old case
Mangaluru: A court on Monday issued non-bailable warrant against retired police officer Jayanth Shetty in a 14-year-old case for repeatedly skipping appearing in court despite summons.
The case pertains to a private complaint filed by activist Kabeer Ullal in 2008 when the officer was serving as the head of anti-rowdy squad.
Kabeer alleged Jayanth Shetty and other police personnel used to target innocent people from Ullal.
"Since I was fighting a legal battle against the harassment, Shetty arrested me during the 2008 communal riots that took place in Ullal.I was sent to the Bellary jail at the time. After being in judicial custody for one week, I was able to secure bail and during that time I filed a private complaint in the court against Inspector Jayanth Shetty and S.I. Shivaprakash. The case had even reached the High Court. Amid this, the Mangaluru Court dismissed my complaint. However, I was relentless and continued my battle. As a result of this, Shivaprakash had to secure bail, while Jayanth Shetty kept dodging court hearings and remained absent. Now the court issued a non-bailable warrant against Shetty on June 20”, Kabir Ullal said.
Kabeer's lawyer SS Qazi said the court has issued notice to Mangaluru Police Commissioner to arrest Shetty and present him before the court.
