Mangaluru, Apr 9: A Red Corner Notice (RCN) has been issued against Sameer, an accused in the attempt to murder case under Section 307 involving an attack on assistant sub-inspector (ASI) Aithappa, who has absconded abroad.
Sameer is involved in as many as 14 criminal cases, including one gang rape case and seven cases registered under Section 307. While he has been acquitted in a few cases, most of the cases are still pending trial.
Police sources stated that similar action had earlier been initiated against another accused Safwan, who was later arrested by police before he could evade prosecution abroad.
