Mangaluru: City Police Commissioner Anupam Agrawal has accused Prasad Attavar, founder of the Rama Sene, and his wife, Suma, of not cooperating with the police in the investigation of a case filed against them for disfiguring photographs of complainants in the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) case.

Addressing reporters in the city on Wednesday, the Commissioner stated that despite being served notices twice, Attavar and his wife had refused to respond. He added that a third notice would be sent to Attavar. However, he clarified that Attavar had earlier been admitted to a hospital for cardiac issues. He was questioned about the case while in the hospital, after which he was granted bail. "Since then, he has been uncooperative with the police," Agrawal said.

The assets owned by Attavar are currently undergoing forensic examination, the Commissioner added.

Regarding Attavar’s wife, Suma, who is a sub-inspector in Udupi, Agrawal stated that she, too, has not responded to police notices. Instead, she has gone on leave and remains untraceable, with her mobile phone switched off.

Attavar was arrested for his involvement in a disturbance at a salon in Bejai on January 23. An inspection of his mobile phone revealed that five sheep had been sacrificed, and their blood had been used on photographs and name tags of Snehamayi Krishna and others as part of a ritual related to the MUDA case. The Barke Police subsequently registered a case against Attavar for participating in the ritual.
