The Inside Story

The Tilak Nagar police stationed at Chheda Nagar, Mumbai, solved a year-old murder and car theft case registered at Yellapur police station in Karnataka, thanks to quick thinking. Fakirappa Mariappa Katamoney, who murdered a driver and stole his vehicle with four accomplices on June 26, 2014, was arrested on Saturday evening and handed over to their counterparts from Yellapur police station the next morning.

Katamoney was driving a Bolero car with tinted glass and TC (trade certificate) number with Karnataka registration. A traffic police constable noticed the car and asked for its papers. After Katamoney stepped out, the man in the co-passenger's seat told the cops that he was parking the car ahead. However, he fled the spot with two of his accomplices in the backseat. The trio dumped the vehicle near Pestom Sagar and has been on the run since.

The Tilak Nagar police called the car manufacturer to inform them about the vehicle and were informed that a complaint about the missing car had been registered at the Yellapur police station in 2014. The Yellapur police confirmed that Katamoney and his four accomplices had stolen the vehicle after killing its driver. During the investigation, Katamoney confessed to the crime.
