Police in Madhya Pradesh have taken into custody two suspects linked to the assault and alleged abetment to suicide of Udupi resident Pradeep Poojari.
Udupi police have confirmed that two individuals charged in the assault and alleged abetment to suicide of Pradeep Poojari have been detained by law enforcement agencies in Madhya Pradesh. The suspects were reportedly apprehended after a coordinated effort between the Udupi investigation team and the Madhya Pradesh police, who located them within the state.
According to official statements, the detention follows a warrant issued by the Udupi court, which had ordered the arrest of the accused for their alleged involvement in the violent incident that preceded Mr. Poojari's death. The Madhya Pradesh authorities have placed the two men in custody pending their extradition to Karnataka for trial.
The case, which has drawn attention in both states, remains under investigation. Further legal proceedings will be conducted in Udupi courts once the accused are transferred, and the police have urged any additional witnesses to come forward.
No further details about the suspects' identities or the exact location of their arrest have been released at this stage.
