Kochi: Ernakulam rural police recorded the arrest of Perumbavoor Anas, a gangster accused in several cases. His arrest was recorded in an abetment of suicide case in connection with the death of Muhammed Haarish in North Paravoor.

Anas alias Anseer, son of Kunjumuhammed of Puthenpura house, Vengola, is presently in remand in connection with an attempt to murder case reported from Aluva on February 14.

Police said his arrest was recorded on Thursday in connection with suicide of Haarish of Valluvallil in North Paravur in 2015. Anas, along with five others, was booked for abetment in this case.

According to senior officers, a probe relating to the attempted muder case in Aluva led to the arrest of Anas in the abetment case. “While probing the attempted murder case for which Anas was arrested a few weeks back, we found that Ibrahim, who was attacked at Aluva, was a co-accused of Anas in the abetment case. We went through the case and found out that Anas’s arrest was not recorded,” said a senior officer.

Police said the case was regarding the death of Haarish who committed suicide following blackmail and extortion attempts made by Anas’s gang.
