Mangaluru, Jul 13: Kankanady police have arrested an absconding accused against whom the court had issued arrest warrants 14 times, but who had managed to evade arrest by changing his residential addresses.

The arrested individual has been identified as Chandrashekhar Lingaraj Bovi (26), a resident of Santhe Maidan Bovi Colony in Bhadravati.

According to police sources, Chandrashekhar was booked in a case registered at the Kankanady city police station in 2024. Although he initially secured bail from the court, he subsequently went into hiding and remained absconding for the past one and a half years. The Principal District and Sessions Court had issued arrest warrants against him 14 times. However, the accused constantly changed his locations and addresses to dodge the police.

Acting on precise intelligence, Kankanady city police station warrant staff Balaraj and Ravi Kumar tracked down the accused on July 11 at Malligehalli Maidalu near Balehonnur.

Following his arrest, the accused was produced before the court.
