Mysterious death of Shiroor Swamiji: No post mortem report even after one month
Udupi, Aug,18: One month has passed since the mysterious death of Shiroor seer Lakshmivara Theertha swamiji, but the final report of his autopsy report is still awaited.
On July 17 Shiroor seer was admitted to Gandhi hospital in Udupi with complaints of vomiting and other health ailments. Later he was shifted to KMC hospital for treatment where he breathed his last on July 19 at 8.30am.
Medical officer at the hospital has stated that the blood samples of the seer had poison. This had given raise to suspicion about seer's death. Seer's brother Latavya Acharya has filed a complaint in Hiriyadka police station. Police had questioned several people in this regard. They had took possession of Udupi and Moola mutt and had sent the samples to forensic lab.
Hospital had submitted the post mortem report on July 30. However, it is stated in the report that the final report will be given only after getting report from the forensic lab. But even after one month there is no news from forensic lab. This has further created many speculations. Police are still awaiting this report.
It is also said that till date no FIR has been registered in the case. At the time when even the news of a small accident or robbery reaches the court, it has no clue about Shiroor seer's death. Because, no FIR has registered in this case. How a person can get justice when his case is not heard by the court, questioned advocate Ravikiran Murudeshwar, appearing for Swamiji.
But police opines that there is no need to register another FIR in the case. If post mortem report suggests foul play then the complaint filed by deceased's brother will be converted into murder case. This has happened in the murder of Hussainabba, a cattle trader from Perdur.
The final report of forensic lab on Shiroor seer's death is yet to come. This is the first case where autopsy report is delayed by a month. As the deceased was a seer, it was expected that the autopsy report would be received without delay. As the report is delayed there is chance that the poisonous substance found in seer's body will be lost. Hence, forensic lab should give its final report as soon as possible.
Ravikiran Murudeshwar, Advocate
The final report from forensic lab is still awaited. Only after receiving this report doctors of Manipal Kasturba medical college will give their final report on Shiroor seer's post mortem.

Karnataka HM G Parameshwara blames EVM for Cong debacle in Maharashtra, backs ballot papers
BENGALURU: Karnataka home minister G Parameshwara on Monday alleged Electronic Voting Machine manipulations led to the defeat of Maha Vikas Aghadi alliance in just concluded assembly polls in Maharashtra.
While speaking to reporters here on Monday, he said the BJP does selective manipulations to convince people that there were no wrongdoings. He also wanted to go back to the paper ballots system.
The ruling BJP-led Mahayuti alliance in Maharashtra won a landslide victory in the assembly elections, shattering the Congress-led Maha Vikas Aghadi's dream to wrest power. The BJP won the highest ever 132 seats for the party, while the Shiv Sena led by Shinde bagged 57 seats and NCP won 41 seats to take the Mahayuti total to 230 seats. Congress as part of MVA won just 16 seats.

"We analysed the Maharashtra poll outcome deeply. We felt that in many places EVMs were manipulated," Parameshwara said. He also said an obvious question would be why not it happened in Jharkhand and elsewhere. The manipulations are done selectively so that no one can question it, he blamed.
According to him, Jharkhand Mukti Morcha is a leading partner. Had the Congress been the leading partner, things would have changed. He backed the ballot papers saying that the same was discussed in Maharashtra Congress as well.
