Bengaluru: The Kalasipalya police arrested a 25-year-old rowdy-sheeter and his two associates after they allegedly tried to attack police personnel while resisting arrest in Tilak Nagar on Wednesday.
The accused, Shazad Pasha, has multiple criminal cases pending against him and had jumped bail. He was found with his associates Yaseen Shariff and Anas Pasha when a police team, led by ASI Srinivasamurthy, tried to apprehend them based on a tip-off.
As the team closed in, Anas Pasha reportedly pulled out a machete and attempted to attack the officers before stabbing himself and urging the others to flee. Police overpowered them and arrested all three.
The accused have been booked for assaulting and obstructing police officers on duty and under the Arms Act. Further investigation is underway.
