Information has emerged that the well-known underworld operative from Karnataka, Hemant Pujari, has been detained in Malaysia. According to a report by Sandesh (Desh), it is said that the Mumbai Police played a key role in this operation, although the police have not yet officially confirmed the matter.

Hemant Pujari is accused of calling several influential persons and big industrialists from Udupi district in Karnataka from international numbers and threatening them. According to the investigation, he had attempted to extort crores of rupees from more than 17 individuals. His targets included people such as builders, hoteliers, contractors, politicians, and senior officials of large companies.

It is alleged that those who failed to pay the ransom money were threatened with serious consequences or being shot dead. Due to these threats, an atmosphere of fear had been prevailing in the business community for a long time. According to a report by NDTV India as well, he is accused of threatening industrialists.

Hemant Pujari was considered a close associate of underworld don Ravi Pujari. He was working to issue threats using his network abroad, and investigative agencies were keeping a watch on him. If this detention is officially confirmed, it will be considered a major success in the international campaign against criminals.
