Impartial probe into Shiroor seer’s death sought
Kemaru, Vajradehi seers met SP
Udupi, July 21: Esha Vittala Swamiji of Kemaru Mutt and Rajashekarananda Swamiji of Vajradehi mutt on Saturday met SP Lakshman Nimbargi and urged for impartial investigation into the suspicious death of Lakshmivara Theertha Swamiji of Shiroor Mutt.
Later speaking to media, the seers said that they have appealed the SP orally about conducting impartial investigation into the death case. There might be a man or woman behind this death and they sought impartial investigation and the SP responded positively. They have also said that if needed, they would give fresh complaint. But the SP said it was not necessary. But the SP said that if the FSL and autopsy report confirmed the poisoning, it would automatically be transferred to other investigating agency and later, the police would take statements, they added.
It was not the time to question the swamiji‘s celibacy and character, because, he was not alive. It was not good for any person to speak ill against a dead person. Now, one thing should be cleared on how the poison added into the food. That should get justice. The investigation should not be misled because of false propaganda. They have urged the SP not to take such false propaganda into consideration while investigating the issue, they said.
They have not made any allegation against the seers of Ashta Mutts and even they did not speak ill about them. They have respect on them. But being the disciple of Pejawar Seer, he would request him not to speak about the lapses. The Pejawar seer who responded when Hindu youth were killed and for burning issues, should demand investigation into the death of the swamiji. Every swamiji should come together to ensure justice to another swamiji. All seers of the Ashta Mutts should join their hands together, Kemaru Swamiji said.
Rajashekarananda Swamiji said that they have met the SP just to clear the suspicion on the death of Shiroor swamiji. The law should take its course. Only police department could trace the accused. The SP responded positively to their demand, he said.
Rs 12 cr loan business
They have also discussed about the torture from a Mumbai-based businessman on loan transaction for Kanaka Mall near Kalsanka. The businessman was supposed to give Rs 10-12 crore to repay the bank loan related to Kanaka Mall, Kemaru Swamiji said.
