Mysuru: The CCB Police arrested on Thursday Maulvi Mufti Mushtaq, a suspect in the recent incident of attack on the Udayagiri Police Station, under charge of making a provocative speech in relation to the incident.
The number of arrests in the case has risen to 17 with the arrest of Maulvi Mufti Mushtaq.
