He’s the hunter of brigand and ivory-smuggler Veerappan. He led the effort to release Karnataka’s hero Dr.Rajkumar from the captivity of the dreaded bandit. Karnataka knows Sri K. Arkesh as a simple man with a tough resolve to deal with violators of the law.

His law-keeping credentials include several important operations. Be it hostage rescue situations, the Kashmir valley, naxal infested Andhra or the western deserts of India – Arkesh has seen it all. It was under his leadership that the police force eventually located and shot dead the notorious bandit Veerappan.

In recognition of his achievements Arkesh received the President’s Police Medal for distinguished service, and for meritorious service. He’s also won the Parakram Medal and the Director-General’s commendation disc with three stars.

The Aam Aadmi party recognizes Arkesh’s tremendous leadership skills and his ability to deal with the corrupt and criminals. We take great pride in announcing his candidature from the Chikaballapura Lok Sabha constituency. Arkesh takes on Minister of Petroleum M.Veerappa Moily - one of the people we hold responsible in the Reliance Gas Pricing Scam.
