Rowdy‑sheeter Ganesh Poojary Arrested under Goonda Act in Udupi District
By ETF Desk
Ganesh Poojary, a local rowdy-sheeter, was arrested on Monday in Udupi district under the Goonda Act. The police claim he has been involved in a series of illegal activities, including racketeering and intimidation of local businesses.
The Goonda Act, a powerful law that allows authorities to detain repeat offenders without a trial, was invoked after a long inquiry into Poojary’s alleged associations with organized crime networks. Police conduct a search of his residence and seized several illegal weapons, according to their statements.
The detention is seen as a step toward restoring law and order in the district, with local officials stating it will deter further criminal conduct. The case is being processed in the district court, and Poojary’s legal team has yet to file a plea. Source: Google News – Udupi District.
