Auto driver Sharif murder case: Two taken into police custody
Mangaluru: In connection with the murder of Mulki-based auto rickshaw driver Muhammad Sharif (52), two individuals have been taken into custody by Manjeshwar police. Sharif, a resident of Kolnadu in Mulki, had gone missing on the night of April 9. His body was discovered the following night in an abandoned well in Kunjathur Padu, within the Manjeshwar police station limits.
According to police sources, preliminary postmortem findings confirmed that Sharif had been murdered before his body was dumped in the well. Investigation revealed that three individuals from Mangaluru had hired Sharif’s auto rickshaw on the night of his disappearance. CCTV footage from the Talapady toll gate captured the rickshaw heading towards Manjeshwar around midnight.
Based on this and other leads, Manjeshwar police intensified their probe and have now detained two suspects, both reportedly from Mangaluru, for questioning in connection with the case.
The investigation is ongoing.
