Hyderabad: Man Who Opened Fire at Pub Arrested, Linked to 80 Criminal Cases in Telangana and AP

Bathula Prabhakar, the man responsible for opening fire at a pub in Hyderabad and injuring a police constable and a bouncer, was arrested late on Saturday, February 1. Prabhakar is reportedly wanted in 80 criminal cases across Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. 

The incident occurred near Prism Pub in Hyderabad's Gachibowli area, where Prabhakar fired at police officers while attempting to evade arrest. A Cyberabad police team chased him down and successfully apprehended him shortly after the shooting.

The police seized two firearms and 23 rounds of ammunition from Prabhakar. A subsequent search of his residence led to the recovery of a country-made gun. Investigations revealed that Prabhakar acquired these weapons through a contact in Bihar. He allegedly sought revenge against a former co-prisoner from Vizag Central Jail, although police are still verifying this claim.

Further inquiries uncovered that Prabhakar had been using mobile phones registered under two women’s names and led a lavish lifestyle funded by his involvement in burglaries, particularly targeting engineering colleges. His criminal activities first attracted police attention during an investigation into thefts at institutions in Moinabad.

The shooting at Prism Pub left Central Crime Station constable Venkat Ram Reddy injured, with a bullet piercing his left foot. Both the constable and the bouncer were immediately taken to Continental Hospitals for treatment. With support from pub bouncers, the police quickly overpowered and arrested Prabhakar.
