Mangaluru, Jul 14: In a major breakthrough, the Ullal police have successfully arrested a notorious rowdy-sheeter who had been evading arrest by wearing a burqa to disguise himself. The accused had multiple pending court warrants against him.
The arrested individual has been identified as Imran alias Surmo Imran, son of the late Hasanabba, a resident of Darga Road, Melangadi in Ullal.
According to police sources, Imran is involved in a total of 23 criminal cases registered across Mangaluru city and Udupi district. Despite the court issuing arrest warrants against him in several cases, the accused continuously failed to appear before the judiciary.
