Mangaluru, Apr 5: The Ullal police arrested 45-year-old Santhosh resident of KC Road Pilikoor on Monday, April 5 for providing shelter to his son Deepak who is accused of killing 12-year-old Akeef over a game of PUBG.
Deepak who had come home after killing Akeef had confessed to his father Santhosh about the murder.
The police have arrested Santhosh for sheltering his son and for not informing the police about the murder. Santhosh, a lorry driver has been residing in Talapady for the last 30 years.
As Deepak is a minor, he has been produced before the Juvenile Justice Board on Monday. The Board ordered Deepak to be sent to a remand home.
As the police cracked the Akeef murder case, locals threatened Deepak's family. Given that only Deepak's mother and his brother are in the house, the Ullal police have continued to provide protection to them.
