K K Aneesh Kumar could be slapped with the Kerala Anti-Social Activities (Prevention) Act should he be booked in a criminal case in the next six months.
The police also invoked the Kerala Anti-social Activities (Prevention) Act (KAAPA) against five others.
The Kerala police recently identified 40 criminal gangs operating in the state and Bengaluru.
Accused who were absconding since 2018 have also been nabbed.
The duo had been under the radar of the excise department for the last few days.
The criminals were taken into custody from a hideout in Kochi by a police team from Wayanad.
Anson Roy is accused in several other cases, said the police. He has been shifted to the Viyyur Central Jail.
The murder-accused CPM supporter was taken into custody during the naming ceremony of his child.
The 26-year-old was convicted in a number of crimes, including extortion, kidnapping and drug trafficking.
A habitual offender in Mananthavadi, who flouted the Kerala Police's KAAPA rules, now faces a lengthy jail term.
