Mangaluru, Jun 9: Barke police have arrested two warrant accused who had been absconding for nearly five years and had failed to appear before the court despite warrants being issued against them.

The accused are identified as Abdul Khader Tansip alias Tanji, resident of Thoudagoli Cross, Naringana village, Bantwal, Mangaluru; and Mohammed Raziq, resident of Kundal House, Adyar Kannur, Mangaluru.

As he had failed to appear before the court for nearly five years, the court had issued a warrant against him. Cases are also registered against him at Konaje and Manjeshwar police stations.
