Senior Actor Vinod Kumar has been arrested by Puttur Police in relation to the intrigue custodies to murder Sachidananda who used to manage his financial affairs. The arrest was made on Monday November 16 at Ishwaramangala by Puttur Police.
By responding on this, Puttur Town Inspector Mahesh Prasad spoke to media on Monday and said that “Sachidananda used to manage all financial affairs of actor Vinod Kumar and he also had power of advocate issued by Vinod Alva to execute financial dealings.
Sachidananda went to court on 7th March 2015 against Vinod Alva demanding payment for his work. Before that he handed over the power of Attorney back to Vinod Alva. On 15 November 2015, when Sachidananda was going by bike to the milk dairy at Ishwaramangala with his worker riding pillion, a jeep hit the bike from behind at Kukkaje. It was learnt that the jeep was driven by Udaya Chikithaya, an associate of Vinod Alva.
Later Sachidananda complained to the Puttur rural police that the bike and jeep accident was planned to kill him as he had gone to court against Vinod Alva. Sachidananda said in the complaint that he feared for his life in the future because of the accident.
Dr Sharanappa who was briefed about the case, asked the Puttur rural police to charge Vinod Alva and Chikithaya immediately with murder conspiracy charges and take appropriate action against them.
It is learned that Vinod Alva is a rowdy sheeter at Puttur rural police station for threatening the people in Badagannur and Sullia Padav twenty years back. It is said that Vinod Ava had collaborated to eliminate one BJP politician from the area who was against him.
Sachidananda had refused to participate in the conspiracy. Vinod Alva wanted to hire criminals from Andhra Pradesh to kill the politician as he was repeatedly objecting to Vinod Alva’s dominance in the area. It is claimed that the BJP leader had a strong public support.
