Post Mortem report which reveals cause of death is not final: SP
Shiroor swamiji death case
Udupi, August 03: SP Lakshman B Nimbargi said that the “Post Mortem report related to the death of Shiroor swamiji will just reveal the immediate cause for the death. It is not final. So, for giving the final opinion, the doctors are waiting for the FSL report”.
Speaking at a phone-in programme at his office here on Friday, the SP said that Forensic Science Lab would submit its report to the KMC hospital doctors who have conducted the postmortem and later, the doctors would cross-check both the reports and give their opinion. Later, the hospital would give that final opinion to the police department. The regional office of the Forensic Science Laboratory housed in Mangaluru was the only centre for Madikeri, Dakshina Kannada, Udupi, Chikmagalur and Uttara Kannada districts due to which, it has been getting more number of cases. So, the Shiroor swamiji’s FSL report is getting delayed. Reports on important cases were being given on priority. Suicide case reports which demand compensation, would also be given immediately. In a few cases which demand DNA test, FSL report would also be given immediately, he said.
Police security to mutts to continue
The police department would require the possession of Shiroor Moola Mutt and Udupi Shiroor mutt for few more days for investigation purpose. Soon after the investigation, the mutts would be handed over to the concerned persons. The police security given to both the mutts would continue, he said.
The DVRs of CCTV cameras found in the river were sent to Forensic Science Laboratory of Bengaluru and they were expecting its report, he said declining to answer whether the footage can be retrieved from the DVR which was thrown into the river or not.
For safety purpose, the Sode Mutt seer had kept all valuables like jewelry, silver ornaments, pooja materials and others which were in the Shiroor Moola Mutt, in the locker at Shiroor Mutt, he said.
The department has formed eight teams to investigate the case. Interrogation of many people would continue. As every case is different, they would require special attention. So, it is not so easy to find out the reasons, he said.

Another North Goa nightclub sealed; Kejriwal says corruption led to fire tragedy
Panaji (PTI): As part of a crackdown against tourist establishments violating laws and safety norms in the aftermath of the Arpora fire tragedy, Goa authorities on Saturday sealed a renowned club at Vagator and revoked the fire department NOC of another club.
Cafe CO2 Goa, located on a cliff overlooking the Arabian Sea at Vagator beach in North Goa, was sealed. The move came two days after Goya Club, also in Vagator, was shut down for alleged violations of rules.
Elsewhere, campaigning for local body polls, AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal said the fire incident at Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub at Arpora, which claimed 25 lives on December 6, happened because the BJP government in the state was corrupt.
An inspection of Cafe CO2 Goa by a state government-appointed team revealed that the establishment, with a seating capacity of 250, did not possess a no-objection certificate (NOC) of the Fire and Emergency Services Department. The club, which sits atop Ozrant Cliff, also did not have structural stability, the team found.
The Fire and Emergency Services on Saturday also revoked the NOC issued to Diaz Pool Club and Bar at Anjuna as the fire extinguishers installed in the establishment were found to be inadequate, said divisional fire officer Shripad Gawas.
A notice was issued to Nitin Wadhwa, the partner of the club, he said in the order.
Campaigning at Chimbel village near Panaji in support of his party's Zilla Panchayat election candidate, Aam Aadmi Party leader Kejriwal said the nightclub fire at Arpora happened because of the "corruption of the Pramod Sawant-led state government."
"Why this fire incident happened? I read in the newspapers that the nightclub had no occupancy certificate, no building licence, no excise licence, no construction licence or trade licence. The entire club was illegal but still it was going on," he said.
"How could it go on? Couldn't Pramod Sawant or anyone else see it? I was told that hafta (bribe) was being paid," the former Delhi chief minister said.
A person can not work without bribing officials in the coastal state, Kejriwal said, alleging that officers, MLAs and even ministers are accepting bribes.
