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.

Real Madrid fines Valverde and Tchouaméni half a million euros each for altercation
Barcelona (AP): Real Madrid slapped players Federico Valverde and Aurélien Tchouaméni with half-a-million-euro ($588,000) fines on Friday for their altercation during practice.
The massive fines came a day after the midfielders tussled when the team trained. Valverde said in a post on social media on Thursday that no punches were thrown. But Valverde knocked his head on a table and he suffered a small cut that required a brief hospital visit.
On social media, Valverde initially called it a “meaningless fight” with a teammate and said “everything has been blown out of proportion."
His employers, however, considered it a significant enough breach of team discipline to nail both Valverde and Tchouaméni with fines that bite even the bank account of a top soccer player. The half-a-million euro penalties reflect the reputational damage the club was enduring in a chaotic end to a disappointing season.
In a statement, the 15-time European champion said its disciplinary action was concluded after both players expressed to the club “their complete remorse for what happened and apologized to one another.”
Madrid added they also apologized to their teammates, the coaching staff and club supporters, as well as showing their willingness to accept whatever disciplinary action the club deemed “opportune.”
Tchouaméni was back training with Madrid on Friday, two days before they play at Barcelona in a clasico. Madrid has to win otherwise Barcelona will be crowned La Liga champion.
After being notified of the fine, he posted a public apology to the club and its fans on social media.
“What happened this week in training is unacceptable,” Tchouaméni wrote. "I say this while thinking about the example we are expected to set for young people, whether in football or at school.
“Above all, I am sorry for the image we projected of the club.”
Valverde was not at practice due to the head knock.
Both players are set to play in the World Cup next month, with Tchouaméni playing for France and Valverde for Uruguay.
Chaotic end to a poor season
===================
The run-in between the players, who for seasons have played side by side in Madrid's midfield, came after they argued this week in previous training sessions. But tempers boiled over on Thursday. Spanish media was rife with reports that the players previously disagreed over the club's decision to let coach Xabi Alonso go after just months on the job.
It was not the only altercation involving Madrid players during training this week. Álvaro Carreras confirmed he was in a “minor” incident with a teammate. Spanish media said he and fellow defender Antonio Rüdiger got into a scuffle.
Álvaro Arbeloa, the coach who was promoted from Madrid's reserve team when Alonso was fired in January, will face tough questions on what went wrong inside the changing room when he gives a press conference on Saturday ahead of the clasico at Camp Nou.
Madrid is facing a second consecutive campaign without a major trophy amid rumors in the Spanish media that club president Florentino Pérez is considering bringing back Jose Mourinho to straighten out his underperforming team.
