Speaking on it, Karnataka Home Minister, Basavaraj S Bommai said, "He was accused and was absconding.

Had he been innocent, he wouldn't have absconded.

We've caught him.

There'll be further probe.

His arrest is major development that'll lead to exposure of the conspiracy and people behind it (Bengaluru violence)." Violence broke out after circulation of 'derogatory' social media post.
