Kolar: The Kolar police arrested a rowdy-sheeter named Kaviraj in connection to the abduction of former minister Varthur Prakash and his driver Sunil, on November 25 from his farm house on the outskirts of Kolar city.

Kaviraj is a resident of Hosur in Tamil Nadu. He has claimed that he is an associate of underworld element Ravi Pujari, who is now in Karnataka police custody.

According to the police sources, Kaviraj planned Prakash’s abduction plot in Parappana Agrahara prison after being arrested for another case in the early 2020, along with his associate Rohith.

They abducted Prakash to get a huge ransom. As Prakash does not have any security around him, the abduction bid was executed swiftly.

Varthur Prakash congratulated the Kolar police for arresting the kingpin.
