Mangaluru: The CCB police have arrested notorious criminal Akash Bhavan Sharan, who has been wanted in several cases and had been absconding over the last several months.
Commissioner of Police Sandeep Patil revealed the same on his Twitter account.
“Notorious gangster and criminal Akash Bhavan Sharan has been arrested. Involved in more than 18 very heinous cases. Was absconding from last few months,” the tweet read.
It may be recalled that some of Sharan’s accomplices were recently arrested in connection with the case of threatening and demanding hafta at Hotel Paradise at Kadri and also vandalising the hotel.
In 2013, Sharan hit headlines after murdering Prakash Kunjathbail to avenge Bejai Raja’s murder. He is also said to have plotted to murder Pradeep Mendon, prime accused in Bejai Raja murder case, but the plan met failure.
He again hit headlines after being accused in the murder of Ramakrishna, administrative officer of KVG Institutions, Sullia. However, Sharan was given supari to kill the administrative officer owing to family dispute of the KVG institute’s proprietors.
Sharan was a member of the Hindu Jagarana Vedike years ago but was ousted from the outfit after he was accused in the case of looting jewellery in Jeppinamogaru.
