Dec. 9: The state police on Thursday arrested notorious criminal Madoor Yusuf alias Isubu in Bengaluru. State DGP and IGP Ajai Kumar Singh said a team of police from Dakshina Kannada district nabbed Isubu near Yeshwanthpur railway station on Wednesday night. He is wanted in several cases of murder, attempted murder and rioting which led to communal violence in Dakshina Kannada district, police sources said.
Yusubu shot to fame after the murder of Candle Santhu, another rowdy, a few years ago. The police had been looking for Isubu. The DGP said there were 17 cases booked against Yusubu which include the murder case of Sukhananda Shetty, murder bid on Chandrashekhar Uchil, robbery at Rajadhani Jewellers, extortion attempts on the owner of Baliga Jewellers in Bantwal. Sitting in Saudi Arabia, he allegedly carried out a shootout at Baliga Jewellers in Bantwal in 2009.
The DGP says since 2010, Isubu has developed links with underworld gangster Chota Shakeel and had taken up work assigned by Shakeel since February.
