Coimbatore History-Sheeter Apprehended for Defying Police Externment Directive
In a significant law enforcement action, the Selvapuram police in Coimbatore arrested a 28-year-old history-sheeter on Saturday for blatantly violating an externment order and illegally re-entering the city limits. The arrested individual has been identified as R Karthik, a resident of Chokkampudur.
Police Surveillance Leads to Capture Near Local Meat Shop
Acting on a credible tip-off, a special team from the Selvapuram police intensified surveillance operations in the Chokkampudur area. Their efforts culminated in the apprehension of Karthik near a meat shop within his locality. Police authorities confirmed that the suspect has multiple pending criminal cases registered against him, underscoring his history of unlawful activities.
Background of the Externment Order Issued by City Police Commissioner
To safeguard public order and security, the Coimbatore City Police Commissioner had previously issued a 51A summons on February 16. This official directive explicitly ordered Karthik to remain outside the jurisdiction of the Coimbatore city police for a duration of six months. The externment order was a preventive measure aimed at curbing his alleged involvement in rowdy behavior and criminal enterprises.

Reports suggested he was allegedly engaged in rowdy activities, thereby instilling fear and apprehension among local residents. The police response was swift and decisive, leading to his detention based on the gathered information.
Legal Proceedings Following the ArrestSubsequent to his arrest, the Selvapuram police formally registered a case against Karthik for violating the externment order.
