Absconding theft accused arrested in Sullia, court awards jail term
Sullia: Bellare police have arrested a 24-year-old man who had been absconding after being accused in a house break-in and theft case.
The accused has been identified as Sharath S from Neriya in Belthangady taluk.
The court sentenced Sharath to six months of imprisonment and imposed a fine of Rs 500 under Section 457 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). In connection with the theft offence under Section 380 of the BNS, the court awarded 10 months of imprisonment along with a fine of Rs 500. The court also directed that he would have to undergo an additional 10 days of imprisonment if the fine is not paid.
In a separate matter, the court also considered a case registered against Sharath under Section 269 of the BNS for remaining absconding instead of appearing before the court. In this case, the court ordered him to either undergo 10 days of imprisonment or pay a fine of Rs 1,000.
The investigation in the case was carried out by Sub-Inspector Santhosh B.P., who gathered witness statements and submitted the charge sheet before the court. Assistant Public Prosecutor Preethi M.C. represented the government during the hearing.
