I have raised voice only against Shiroor seer’s suspicious death: Kemaru seer
Swamiji is threatened in social media
Mangaluru, July 25: “I have not interfered in the internal affairs of Udupi Ashta Mutts and I would not do it. But I have raised my voice against the suspicious death of Shiroor swamiji”, said Esha Vittala Dasa Swamiji of Kemaru Mutt.
Speaking to reporters here on Wednesday, the swamiji said that Udupi Ashta Mutts and the personal issue of Lakshmivara Tirtha Swamiji of Shiroor Mutt was not related to him. Doctors have said that before the death, there was poison in the body of Shiroor swamiji. He has urged the police department to conduct a probe to find out whether the food of the swamiji had become poisonous or he was poisoned. Udupi SP had promised him of conducting a proper investigation into the issue. The investigation was going on and he would not oppose it, he said.
“I have faith in the Constitution of the country. If Shiroor swamiji made a mistake, the law would have taken its action. But nobody has the right to kill him. The autopsy report and FLS report would throw light on the reasons for the death”, he said.
‘Life threat through social media’
“After the death of Shiroor swamiji, I have demanded probe into the suspicious death. For this reason, I have been receiving threats through WhatsApp and Facebook. There is a suspicion about the death after the doctor’s version, for which I have demanded probe. Citing this issue, I was threatened in the social media. I will think of giving a police complaint against this development”.

Belagavi youth’s murder case projected as road accident, cracked in Uttara Kannada; Three arrested
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.
