The police have taken into custody Akash Bhavan Sharan, said to be an associate of underworld operative Vikki Shetty, in connection with two motor vehicle theft cases and a plan to murder two associates of another such operative Ravi Poojary. Talking to reporters here on Friday, Police Commissioner N. Shashi Kumar said that nine associates of Sharan were arrested in connection with the theft of two motorcycles in Kankanady and Mangaluru Rural Police limits earlier.

Mr. Kumar said on Thursday that Sharan was involved in more than 20 criminal cases. The recent ones he was involved in include the murder of financier-turned-actor Surendra Bantwal (39) in October 2020. He was also accused of sexually assaulting a minor in Manipal.
