Mangaluru Police Commissioner warns: “Those associating with criminals will also face action”
Mangaluru: Mangaluru Police Commissioner Sudheer Reddy has issued a stern warning to citizens, cautioning that those seen associating with individuals involved in criminal cases will also face police action.
In a public message released through a video, the Commissioner said, “We had already warned people not to move around with those who are involved in criminal cases. It seems some have ignored that advice. If you continue to associate with such people, you too will face consequences. If you think you can do as you please, remember we too will do what we must.”
Explaining the context behind the warning, Reddy said that a man named Prashanth alias Pachchu, who has several past criminal cases including murder and attempted murder, was recently found involved in an extortion case.
According to the complaint, on October 22, Prashanth, along with Harshit, visited a fireworks shop in Bajpe, threatened the shopkeepers, and demanded fireworks without payment. “The shopkeepers were frightened and filed a complaint after we assured them of protection. A case has been registered,” the Commissioner said.
He added that Ashwath, who was accompanying Prashanth, had no prior criminal record. “We had already advised people not to hang around with such offenders. Those who continue to ignore this will have to face the consequences. If you insist on your way, we will do our duty accordingly,” Reddy warned.
