Udupi, July 28: While the mysterious death case of the Shiroor Seer is taking new turns every day, now it has been said that the Shiroor Seer had written a letter to Udupi SP on June 24 regarding his disappointment with the other pontiffs. The Shiroor Swamiji died on June 19.

The letter which is believed to be written following the transfer of Shiroor Mutt God has mentioned that other pontiffs will be responsible if anything goes wrong in future.

In a letter, which is believed to be written by Shiroor Shree to Udupi SP, mentioned “because of illness I had arranged pooja of Shree Shiroor Mutt through the seers of Admaru Mutt at Shri Krishna Mutt. Now I am well, and they are not giving our mutt’s God to me.

The letter was written on 24 June 2018 and received on 25 July 2018.

Clarification from SP: “This complaint was given to Udupi town station in June itself. But the complaint was not accepted because it did not come under the Udupi town limits. Later he complained to the SP office. A few days ago, someone had given a copy and took the received seal. For any complaints coming to SP office, the seal will be put,” the Udupi SP said.

Karwar: Uttara Kannada police have cracked a murder case in which a Belagavi youth was killed and his body burnt inside a car to make it appear like a road accident.

Addressing a press meet in the city, Superintendent of Police Deepan M.N. said three accused from Old Hubballi have been arrested in connection with the case. The crime was a pre-planned act driven by personal enmity, he said.

The case came to light on April 8 morning when a car (KA-04/MJ-8996) was found completely burnt in a roadside ditch near Talekumbri bus stand in Yellapur. Only charred human remains were found inside the vehicle. Initially, it was suspected to be an accident caused by overspeeding, and a case was registered at Yellapur police station based on a complaint filed by the deceased’s father, Jagannath Dhapale.

However, the father later expressed suspicion that his son’s death was not accidental, prompting a detailed investigation.

Taking the matter seriously, two special teams were formed under the leadership of Yellapur Inspector Ramesh Hanapur. On analysing technical evidence and CCTV footage, police found that it was a planned murder.

The accused have been identified as Abdul Raheem Basheer Ahmed Mujawar (32), Maulasab Bavahan Wada (36) and Dadapeer alias Aftab Mehboob Saab Balasangi (22), all chicken traders from Old Hubballi.

Police have seized the car used in the crime along with two scooters. The accused have been remanded to judicial custody.

Investigations revealed that the accused killed Nitesh Dhapale due to personal enmity and later set the car on fire along with the body to project it as an accident.

SP Deepan M.N. appreciated the efforts of Inspector Ramesh Hanapur, PSIs Rajashekhar Vandali and Siddappa Gudi, and the entire team for solving the complex case.
