Mangalore, May 11: Notorious rowdy Shabari alias Shabarinath has been detained under the Goonda Act, by an order passed by the district magistrate Parshwanath. The order is based on the report of district SP B Dayananda and has already been executed on the detenu on Wednesday May 10 by Anti Rowdy Squad inspector Vinay Gaonkar. Shabari has been sent to the Central Prison, Bellary as per the direction of the district magistrate.
Shabari (27), a resident of Sevanti Gudde Pemannur village here, is a dangerous and desperate rowdy on whom a rowdy sheet is maintained in Ullal police station. He is involved in as many as 12 different criminal cases so far, out of which, one is a murder case and the rest are serious offences like attempt to murder, severe attack on police prisoner escort party, extortion, hurt and criminal intimidation.
He began his criminal activities in the year 1992 in a small way and then ran away to Mumbai. He came in contact with the underworld and later came back to the city. Then onwards, he has been indulging in various anti-social and unlawful activities in around the city.
To cover his goonda activities, he also joined certain community-based organisations under whose garb he also attacked certain innocent people of the other community. One such case is the attempted murder of an auto rickshaw driver which ended in conviction. In spite of being sentenced to two years and seven months of rigorous imprisonment in this case, he continued his violent activities.
In the year 2004, when Mysore police was escorting a life convict by name Vamanjur Rohi from Mysore to Mangalore, Shabari and his associates had attacked the escort party with deadly weapons to free Rohi from lawful custody. Though the attempt was thwarted the policemen in the escort party had sustained serious injuries. Last month, he along with his gang had assaulted one Shivaprasad with a sword near Hampanakatta and caused serious injuries.
Thus as the ordinary laws of the land had failed to contain his activities, he has now been detained under the Goonda Act. If confirmed by the state government and approved by the Advisory Board, he can be detained under the act as an ordinary prisoner in Bellary jail for a year.
