The Bengaluru Central Crime Branch (CCB) has arrested an alleged rowdy-sheeter who had been evading the police while allegedly roaming through J.J.Nagar brandishing a long machete and uploading videos of the act on social media.
The accused has been identified as Toushif Khan of J.J. Nagar.
Senior officer said he is an accused in multiple criminal cases,including assault and attempt to murder,and had failed to appear before the court in connection with the cases.He had also been absconding,making it difficult for the police to trace him.
According to investigators,despite being on the run, Tausif Khan frequently entered J.J.Nagar carrying a long machete in public and posted videos of himself dancing with the weapon on social media,allegedly to project his influence and intimidate people.
After tracking his movements,the CCB apprehended the accused and sent him to judicial custody.Police said further investigation is underway.
