In a shocking incident in Davangere, two police sub-inspectors along with five others have been arrested on charges of robbery. The accused allegedly intimidated and stole a gold bar and ring from a jewellery artisan.
The victim, Vishwanath Arakasali, accused the officers, Malappa Chippalakatte and Praveen Kumar, who had recently been transferred to Davangere, of carrying out the crime. According to Arakasali, the officers intercepted him at a bus stand, threatened him, and forcibly took the gold items while he was traveling toward Bengaluru.
This arrest is part of a series of law enforcement scandals in the region, including another officer’s involvement in a major ATM heist. The growing trend of police misconduct has raised serious concerns about the integrity and accountability of law enforcement services in the area.
