Ujire kidnapping case solved within 36 hours, seven accused arrested
Belthangady: The Police successfully tracked down the eight-year-old Anubhav, the son of businessman Bijoy, at Kolar on Saturday. A total of seven people have been arrested in connection with the abduction case, police said.
The kidnappers were spotted by a special team of police with a child around 5 am on Saturday morning near the Masti police station’s jurisdiction in the Kolar district. The accused who is also scheduled to be produced before the Belthangady court is reportedly being transported from Kolar at present.
The accused had hidden the child in the house of a man named Manjunath at Koorna Hosahalli in Malur Taluk in Kolar. The kidnappers are reported to have used the mobile phone of this individual to make the ransom call, due to which the police were able to track him down and subsequently take him into custody. The police traced the kidnappers through this man. It is learned that the Mangaluru Police Team are conducting the arrest operation with the cooperation from the Kolar SP Karthik.
Preliminary reports suggest four kidnappers, including Electronic City's Komal and Mandya’s Gangadhar, may release more information after the police investigate the accused further.

The state government has commissioned waste management plants to treat e-waste and hazardous waste, he said.
“I appeal to all industries not to dispose of their waste on the roadside in an unscientific manner. Facilities exist to treat all kinds of waste, and these should be used to keep Goa clean,” he said.
The chief minister said that citizens should shoulder the responsibility of keeping the state clean to retain its beauty and serenity.
He also urged the locals to work towards realising the visions of ‘Vikasit Bharat’ (Developed India) and ‘Vikasit Goa’ (Developed Goa).
Sawant thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Centre for “contributing in a big way to the development of the state”.
The Goa Liberation Day is celebrated on December 19 every year to mark the success of 'Operation Vijay' undertaken by the armed forces to liberate the state from the Portuguese in 1961.
