History-Sheeter Caught Violating KAAPA Ban in T'puram

Thiruvallom police apprehended a 24-year-old history-sheeter, Vineeth, alias 'Pepper Vineeth', on Saturday for breaching a KAAPA Act preventive detention order. Vineeth was taken into custody near the Thiruvallom temple premises on Thursday, having been restricted from entering Thiruvananthapuram city limits until May 11, 2026, due to his repeated involvement in criminal acts.

Despite police warnings and the existing detention order, Vineeth persisted in engaging in criminal activities and causing law and order disturbances. Acting on intelligence gathered during 'Operation Dark Hunt', city police commissioner K Karthick initiated a search, leading to Vineeth's discovery within the prohibited city limits. He was formally arrested following his detention.

The arrested individual is reportedly involved in around six criminal cases, including charges related to narcotics and assault. These cases are registered at the Thiruvallom and Nemom police stations, highlighting a pattern of significant criminal involvement.
