CCB nabs historysheeter who was presumed dead 2 years ago

Bengaluru, NT Bureau: The Central Crime Branch (CCB) sleuths nabbed a history-sheeter who had faked his death to evade arrest by the city police for over two years on Tuesday. The officials identified the accused as Mallikarjuna, who had a rowdy-

sheet filed against him at the Whitefield Police Station in Bengaluru. According to the police, the accused was involved in two murder cases that occurred in Kadubeesanahalli and Rajanukunte localities in Bengaluru.

However, he allegedly went missing after the murders. When inquired by the jurisdictional police, the family members claimed that the accused was no longer alive.

Even the accused’s friends and relatives were informed of his supposed "death."

Over the two years, the family members had also obtained documents to support the claim that the accused had passed away. Growing suspicious about these assertions, the matter was handed over to the CCB who intensified the probe and got to know that the accused was still alive.

The accused rowdy-sheeter had been constantly moving from place to place, evading arrest. However, the CCB police teams tracked his movements and arrested him in the city.
