Mangalore, Feb 6: A murder conspiracy hatched by associates of underworld don Ravi Poojary was foiled by the District Crime and Intelligence Bureau (DCIB) and Vittal police following four arrests on Sunday February 6.
The arrested are Vishwanath and Raghunath, residents of Kulai in Surathkal, and Mohamamad Ali alias Munna and Riyaz, residents of Uppala in Kasargod.
Police said that the arrested were meeting to exchange a weapon meant for use in the murder of a businessman who had intervened in their extortion racket.
Gangster Ravi Poojary had suggested that Vishwanath and Ragunath hand over a pistol to Munna and Riyaz to kill Chowta, a resident of Uppala.
Chowta had intervened on behalf of a business man in Kasaragod, M G Mohammad, from whom Ravi Poojary had demanded ‘hafta’ amounting to Rs 25 crore.
The police team arrested the four near Mani and seized a 9mm pistol, 10 live bullets, Rs 10,000 in cash, and 9 mobile phones.
