Udupi, November 14, 2026 - Notorious figure Ravi Pujari was escorted by a large police presence to his hometown of Malpe to attend his 86-year-old mother's funeral on Saturday. A court had previously authorized his temporary release from custody to attend the final rites of his mother. Upon his arrival in Malpe on Friday, he was transported by prison authorities and the Deputy Commissioner of Police, City Armed Reserve (South), Adugodi.
The Udupi district police provided additional security during his stay in the region. The court stipulated that all costs associated with the police escort would be borne by Pujari. Following the funeral, set for 11 am at the family residence in Nergi, he was returned to custody. Susheela Pujarathi, Pujari's mother, passed away from a heart attack at her home on Thursday.
Pujari, originally from Malpe in Udupi district, made a name for himself in Mumbai's underworld during the 1990s as an associate of Chhota Rajan. He has been implicated in various instances of murder, attempted murder, and extortion. In the mid-1990s, Pujari fled the country and was subsequently apprehended in Senegal in 2019 and extradited to India in 2020.
Currently, he remains in a prison in Bengaluru, facing multiple pending cases in Karnataka and Maharashtra.
