Accordingly Bengaluru's Karachi Bakery, located on 100 ft Road in Indiranagar, received a threatening call on Wednesday by a man who allegedly identified himself as Vicky Shetty, the underworld operative and this is the second threat that the bakery has received in less than a month. Meanwhile the manager of Karachi Bakery, Sukumaran P, allegedly received the call on Wednesday afternoon.
He said “When he picked up the call, the caller said his name is Vicky Shetty and asked him if he is the owner of Karachi Bakery and he told him to tell the owner to remove the word Karachi from the board as people in India do not use the word Karachi. He said that if it is not removed in 24 hours, his boys would destroy the bakery”. Furthermore Indiranagar Police Station Inspector Ravi, a VoIP (voice over internet protocol) platform was used to make the call to Sukumaran. The Indiranagar police filed a non-cognizable report on Wednesday afternoon and later registered an FIR under section 507 (criminal intimidation) after obtaining the court's permission to register an FIR.
Moreover this is the second time the manager of Karachi Bakery has received a threat regarding the bakery’s name. Reportedly Vicky Shetty is an underworld operative, who is facing dozens of cases including murder and criminal conspiracy, in Dakshina Kannada district and Mangaluru. Earlier in 2018, the Dakshina Kannada district police had arrested his associates in connection with the murder of Abdul Jaleel Karopadi, the vice-president of a gram panchayat in Bantwal taluk.
