Mangaluru lawyers demand CBI probe in IPS Madhukar Shetty death case
Mangaluru: Mangaluru Lawyer’s Association President S P Changappa on Wednesday stressed that a CBI probe should be ordered in the death of senior IPS office Madhukar Shetty if the state government formed committee establishes suspicion on the treatment administered to the officer.
Speaking at a press conference in the city, Changappa said “Madhukar was admitted to Continental Hospital in Hyderabad with heart disease but he did not receive treatment for his disease for nearly 36 hours. But instead, it was alleged that he was treated for H1N1 disease” he said while adding that the report submitted by the five-member committee to investigate the treatment provided to the officer will play a key role in deciding the future course.
The committee that includes Dr. Deviprasad Shetty and Dr. P G Girish is expected to submit its finding in next few days.
He further added that “Senior ministers said that the prestigious police training academy of the state shall be renamed as ‘Dr. Madhukar Shetty Police Training Centre’ it should be implemented”.

Another North Goa nightclub sealed; Kejriwal says corruption led to fire tragedy
Panaji (PTI): As part of a crackdown against tourist establishments violating laws and safety norms in the aftermath of the Arpora fire tragedy, Goa authorities on Saturday sealed a renowned club at Vagator and revoked the fire department NOC of another club.
Cafe CO2 Goa, located on a cliff overlooking the Arabian Sea at Vagator beach in North Goa, was sealed. The move came two days after Goya Club, also in Vagator, was shut down for alleged violations of rules.
Elsewhere, campaigning for local body polls, AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal said the fire incident at Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub at Arpora, which claimed 25 lives on December 6, happened because the BJP government in the state was corrupt.
An inspection of Cafe CO2 Goa by a state government-appointed team revealed that the establishment, with a seating capacity of 250, did not possess a no-objection certificate (NOC) of the Fire and Emergency Services Department. The club, which sits atop Ozrant Cliff, also did not have structural stability, the team found.
The Fire and Emergency Services on Saturday also revoked the NOC issued to Diaz Pool Club and Bar at Anjuna as the fire extinguishers installed in the establishment were found to be inadequate, said divisional fire officer Shripad Gawas.
A notice was issued to Nitin Wadhwa, the partner of the club, he said in the order.
Campaigning at Chimbel village near Panaji in support of his party's Zilla Panchayat election candidate, Aam Aadmi Party leader Kejriwal said the nightclub fire at Arpora happened because of the "corruption of the Pramod Sawant-led state government."
"Why this fire incident happened? I read in the newspapers that the nightclub had no occupancy certificate, no building licence, no excise licence, no construction licence or trade licence. The entire club was illegal but still it was going on," he said.
"How could it go on? Couldn't Pramod Sawant or anyone else see it? I was told that hafta (bribe) was being paid," the former Delhi chief minister said.
A person can not work without bribing officials in the coastal state, Kejriwal said, alleging that officers, MLAs and even ministers are accepting bribes.
