Three Habitual Offenders Externed From Udupi Jail Under New Orders
By ETF Desk
Three habitual offenders, previously lodged in the Udupi district jail, were extened from the facility following a recent court directive. The decision comes amid escalating calls for stricter measures against repeat offenders in Karnataka.
The trio—identified as Mr. S. Ravi, Mr. K. Manjunath, and Mr. V. Narayan—have a documented history of repeated offenses, including fraud, assault, and arson. Authorities note that the externment allows police and probation officers closer supervision while the offenders await further legal proceedings.
The move has been welcomed by local law‑enforcement agencies, who argue it will help maintain public safety and provide disciplined oversight. However, community groups have urged that the decision be accompanied by robust rehabilitation plans to prevent re‑entrenchment in crime. Source: Google News – Udupi.
