Mangaluru, July 25: “I have not interfered in the internal affairs of Udupi Ashta Mutts and I would not do it. But I have raised my voice against the suspicious death of Shiroor swamiji”, said Esha Vittala Dasa Swamiji of Kemaru Mutt.

Speaking to reporters here on Wednesday, the swamiji said that Udupi Ashta Mutts and the personal issue of Lakshmivara Tirtha Swamiji of Shiroor Mutt was not related to him. Doctors have said that before the death, there was poison in the body of Shiroor swamiji. He has urged the police department to conduct a probe to find out whether the food of the swamiji had become poisonous or he was poisoned. Udupi SP had promised him of conducting a proper investigation into the issue. The investigation was going on and he would not oppose it, he said.

“I have faith in the Constitution of the country. If Shiroor swamiji made a mistake, the law would have taken its action. But nobody has the right to kill him. The autopsy report and FLS report would throw light on the reasons for the death”, he said.

‘Life threat through social media’

“After the death of Shiroor swamiji, I have demanded probe into the suspicious death. For this reason, I have been receiving threats through WhatsApp and Facebook. There is a suspicion about the death after the doctor’s version, for which I have demanded probe. Citing this issue, I was threatened in the social media. I will think of giving a police complaint against this development”.
