Locals near Montepadav in Mangalore caught an individual associated with the Bajrang Dal, and previously with the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) for his involvement in the theft of a temple’s donation box, a  two-wheeler, and other robberies in the area. The locals handed him to the Konaje police on Sunday night. 

The accused who is a resident from Montepadav has been identified as Tharanath alias Mohan, the police revealed.

The police have revealed that Tharanath has been involved in various cases of burglary including the theft of money from inside the donation box of a local temple, gold ornaments from homes, robbery of bags of Areca nut and theft of petrol from his friend’s vehicles.

On Saturday, the accused had allegedly stolen a two-wheeler parked inside the compound of a home in Montepadav and fled. After the homeowners checked the CCTV footage and discussed with various people to ascertain the identity of the thief, they were able to determine that the accused was Tharanath. When they went to the accused’s house on Sunday night, he reportedly tried to flee but was caught by the locals, who later handed him to the Konaje Police.

A case has been registered at the Konaje Police station in this regard, and an investigation is underway.

The accused Tharanath was a convener of the Viranjeneyanagar’s Bajarang Dal faction and was involved with the Montepadav Sharadanagar’s Vishwa Hindu Parishad. He was also an active participant in the various programs organized by Hindutva organizations that took place in the vicinity.
