Sharath Shetty murder case: Accused Yogish Acharya surrenders
Kaup: Yogish Acharya (36) of Katpadi, who is the primary accused in the murder of realtor Sharath Shetty (39) from Pangala, has surrendered before the Udupi court. The accused has been absconding for the last one year, the Kaup Police have taken him into police custody and are further investigating the matter.
Sharath Shetty and Yogish Acharya were friends and business partners in real estate. The incident goes back to December 2022, when Sharath Shetty reportedly abandoned Yogish Acharya during an attack related to a land dispute in Pangala. This incident created an animosity between the two.
Seeking revenge, Yogish Acharya, with the help of underworld gangster Kali Yogeesh and accomplices, murdered Sharath Shetty on February 5, 2023, in Pangala Temple on NH 66. The Kaup Police registered a case and arrested six individuals in connection with the murder.
Yogish Acharya had been absconding since the crime but surrendered to the Udupi court on May 23. Kapu Circle Inspector Jayashree S. Mane, the investigating officer, obtained a body warrant and took Acharya into custody for five days for further questioning.
During the investigation, the police seized documents and a mobile phone from Acharya. With his initial custody period ending, Acharya is set to be produced before the court on May 30. Police sources indicate that there is a possibility of extending his custody for further investigation. All accused, except gangster Kali Yogeesh, have been arrested in this case.
