Belthangady police have arrested one individual and detained two others in connection with the arson attack on Dr. Pradeep's health clinic in Navoor village. The incident, which saw diesel poured and set alight at the Swathi building premises on the night of October 7, led to the apprehension of Ravi Poojary from Navoor on the evening of October 14, identified as the primary perpetrator.
The clinic, operated by Dr. Pradeep within the Swathi building complex in Navoor, became the target of the late-night attack on October 7. Diesel was deliberately poured and ignited, causing damage that prompted immediate police action. Following the registration of a formal complaint at the Belthangady police station, investigators quickly mobilized resources. Their intensive efforts paid off, leading to the identification of the accused within a mere week of the incident.
Police sources confirmed Ravi Poojary's role as the primary perpetrator. Further details emerging from the investigation point to a broader conspiracy, with Suresh Inchara, a resident of Navoor, and Dinesh Prabhu Navoor, hailing from Kaudicharu in Puttur, now under custody for questioning. Authorities indicate that Inchara and Prabhu allegedly orchestrated the crime, instructing Poojary to set the fire.
The arrested individual is anticipated to be presented before the court today. The swift progress in the case follows a thorough initial assessment by a high-level team. Additional Superintendent of Police Anil Kumar Boomareddy, Belthangady Sub-division DySP Rohini, and personnel from the local police station, accompanied by a SOCO team, had visited and meticulously inspected the site shortly after the incident. The successful operation to apprehend the suspects was meticulously planned and executed under the direct guidance of DySP Rohini C.K., with Belthangady Circle Inspector Ravi B.S. leading the ground team, which also included Sub-Inspectors Anand and Sikandar Pasha.
