Dharwad Police Nab Fugitive Ex-Corporator After Seven-Year Evasion
In a significant breakthrough, the Dharwad Suburban police have successfully arrested Srikant alias Tirakappa Jamnal, an accused in a long-standing criminal case who had been on the run for approximately seven years. The arrest marks the end of an extensive manhunt for the fugitive, who was previously a recognized figure in the JD(S) party and served as a city corporator.
Details of the Criminal Case and Evasion
Jamnal was originally sentenced by the JMFC court in a criminal case, but after obtaining bail, he failed to appear before the court, leading to his prolonged evasion. He has been in hiding for nearly seven years, avoiding legal proceedings and police capture. Currently, there is an active criminal case against him at the Dharwad Suburban police station, where he has also been officially listed as a rowdy-sheeter, highlighting his history of involvement in criminal activities.
Arrest and Current Status
The police apprehended Jamnal on the outskirts of Dharwad city, following a coordinated effort to track his movements. After his capture, he was promptly presented before the court, and he is now stationed in the central prison, awaiting further legal action. This arrest underscores the police's commitment to pursuing fugitives and upholding justice, even in cases that span several years.
The case has drawn attention due to Jamnal's political background and his status as a rowdy-sheeter, emphasizing the challenges in dealing with individuals who evade the law. The Dharwad Suburban police's persistence in this matter serves as a reminder of the ongoing efforts to combat crime and ensure accountability in the region.
