If proved, I’ll renounce Peetha: Pejawar seer
’Shiroor seer’s allegations in audio records are false’
Udupi, July 23: Vishvesha Tirtha Swamiji of Pejawar Mutt said that the allegations made in the audio records by Shiroor seer about himself were false and he would give up the Peetha if the allegations were proved.
In a statement, the Pejawar seer said that “in the video, the Shiroor seer said that I had relationship with a woman during my young age. He has said that I have a daughter called Padma who is in Tamil Nadu which is not true. In the letter sent by him in last December, he has mentioned that I have a son which shows it is just an imagination”, he said.
Country will not believe it
Nobody in the country would not believe his allegation. He was ready to face the interrogation and test. This was just a false allegation. It was not possible to prove it. If it was proved, he would give up the Peetha immediately, he said.
I don’t have any role
“I did not have any role in the renunciation of Peetha by Raghu Vallabha Tirtha of Palimaru Mutt, Manojna Thirtha of Shiroor Mutt and Vidyabhushana Swamiji of Subramanya Mutt earlier. I had done all efforts to retain in the Peetha. But they had given up their positions voluntarily. It was a mistake to make me responsible for their decisions. The allegation that I had given Rs 5 lakh to Raghuvallaba was also false. He was not given a single paisa. I had not sent Vishwa Vijaya. He himself had gone. I told him about the problems if he had gone. Even then he had gone. I had told him that I would make arrangements once he came back. But he had given up the Peetha without informing me”, he said.
“I did not have any role in accepting the Ashramas by Vyasaraja Swami, Suvidyendra Swamiji and their renunciation. But Shiroor seer has alleged that I was responsible for all such acts which is not true. I did not expect any money from Shiroor seer and even did not ask him. I am ready to face any enquiry”, the swamiji said.
Statement is inevitable
Some people said that it was not fair to give statement on misuse of power of Shiroor seer after his death. They have also asked some questions on not returning the Presiding Deity and having the last darshan of Shiroor seer. But he has forcefully said that he had violated the Sannyasa dharma, he added.

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.
