21 Aug
Summary
- Arjun Ayanki faces detention under the Kaapa Act.
- He is accused in nine separate criminal cases.
- His release was deemed a threat to public safety.
The district administration in Kannur has invoked the Kerala Anti-Social Activities (Prevention) Act (Kaapa) against Arjun Ayanki, a suspect in nine criminal cases. Citing his involvement in multiple criminal activities, including gold smuggling and robbery, the district collector ordered Ayanki's preventive detention.
This decision follows a recommendation from the Kannur city police commissioner. Authorities believe Ayanki poses a significant threat to society and may engage in further criminal acts if released on bail. Ayanki is presently in judicial custody, and police will formally arrest him under the Kaapa order before transferring him to Kannur central jail.
