Shiroor Swamiji was weeping for Presiding Deity: Kemaru swamiji
Udupi, July 19: “Shiroor Swamiji had come out of the Puritanism. He was loving the poor without considering their castes. I suspect he might have faced this problem because of this reason. So, the government and the district administration should intervene in the issue and order a high level probe into the death of the swamiji”, said Esha Vittala Swamiji of Kemaru Sandipani Ashram.
Speaking to reporters near KMC hospital at Manipal on Thursday, the swamiji said that the swamiji was not depressed to commit suicide. He did not have any apprehension over the CD incident telecast in the media. He did not consider the issue seriously. Normally, the swamiji was not consuming solid food. He was taking only juice. If there was poison in the food, a comprehensive investigation should be conducted about who has brought it and how, the Kemaru swamiji demanded.
He was weeping for his Presiding Deity and he was murmuring during the sleep that he wanted Anna Vittala. But he had the confidence of getting justice through legal fight. Even his advocates had also assured it, he said.
“We thought that the handing over of Presiding Deity would be solved through compromise. Otherwise, we would have moved the court around one and half month before. The swamiji had spoken to me about this just five days ago. We have discussed it with advocate Ravikiran Murudeshwar. Later, we have decided to file a case on July 25. He was not in dying condition”, the swamiji said.
Preparations were on to anoint successor!
Shiroor Swamiji had prepared to anoint his successor around five years ago. He had decided to take his disciple soon after Chaturmasya. The swamiji had decided five years back to take Prashanth from Bengaluru as his successor and the family members of Prashanth had also agreed. Being an educated, Prashanth was visiting Shiroor Mutt very often. The swamiji had decided to anoint Prashanth as his successor after Chaturmasya. But it was not disclosed with other swamijis of Ashta mutts. He discussed it with a few of his known circle. But it was a closed chapter, the Kemaru swamiji said.

App biker harasses woman doctor for cancelling ride, arrested
Kolkata, Nov 2: A woman doctor of a private hospital in Kolkata lodged a police complaint on Saturday accusing an app biker of sending her pornographic videos after she cancelled the booking since he was getting too late, an officer said.
The accused was arrested within a few hours of the victim filing the complaint.
The accused was slapped with different sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for sexual harassment, outraging a woman's modesty and criminal intimidation, he said.
The doctor, associated with a private medical facility in the southern part of the city's Jadavpur area, booked the app bike at 8 pm from the hospital.
Initial probe revealed that the accused app-biker had called the doctor at least 17 times and sent her sexually explicit content on WhatsApp after she cancelled her booking, the officer said.
The rider also allegedly threatened her with dire consequences.
"The doctor first filed an e-complaint with the Police Commissioner and the Joint CP Crime. She also sent an email to the cyber cell before lodging a complaint with the Purba Jadavpur Police Station," the officer said.
