In a significant breakthrough, Mangaluru City Police have arrested an accused who had been on the run for nearly eight years, evading multiple non-bailable warrants. The arrest of Abubakkar Siddique alias Capri Siddique from neighbouring Kasaragod district highlights the sustained efforts of law enforcement to track down long-pending offenders.
The accused was wanted in several cases registered at Ullal, Konaje and Kankanady police stations, including theft, possession of stolen property and violations under the Karnataka Prevention of Cow Slaughter and Cattle Preservation Act. His prolonged absence from court since 2018 had stalled legal proceedings, making his arrest crucial for the judicial process.
The operation, carried out by a special police team, reflects the increasing focus on identifying and apprehending absconders who attempt to exploit gaps in enforcement. Such arrests send a clear message that evading the law is only temporary.
With the accused now in judicial custody, the case is expected to move forward, reinforcing the importance of coordinated policing and persistent tracking in upholding the rule of law.
