Udupi, July 30: The postmortem report of Lakshmivara Tirtha Swamiji of Shiroor Mutt reached the police on Monday. But keeping pending the opinion for the reason for the death, it was mentioned about the report of the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL).

A team of expert doctors of the KMC hospital which conducted the postmortem on the swamiji, has submitted an eight-page report to SP Lakshman Nimbargi on Monday and in the report, the doctors have given detailed report on liver, kidney, bleeding and other vital organs in the body. But nowhere in the report, they have mentioned the cause for the death. They have kept pending the opinion on the cause of the death and said that they were expecting the FSL report. Soon after getting the FSL report, the doctors would cross-check both the reports and ascertain the reason for the death. But the doctors have not mentioned in their report about the poison, sources said.

Following the submission of the postmortem report, the investigating team held a meeting to discuss the issue. FSL report would take another one month. But the police, without waiting for the FSL report, have continued their investigation into the case. Sources said that the police have once again interrogated a woman who was close to the swamiji.

Because of ill-health, Shiroor swamiji was admitted to Gandhi hospital at Udupi on July 17 at 11 am. Later, he was shifted to KMC hospital on July 18 at 1.05 am for more treatment. But on July 19 at 8.30 am, the swamiji breathed his last at the hospital.

The doctors then said that the swamiji died due to heavy internal bleeding and as per the hospital medical report, the swamiji died because of poisoning. In view of this, Latavya Acharya, brother of Lakshmivara Tirtha Swamiji, lodged a complaint at Hiriyadka police station. Now, the investigation is going on under the leadership of investigating officer and Karkala DySP Belliyappa.

New Delhi: Tesla CEO Elon Musk has commended India's election process for its efficiency in counting 640 million votes in a single day. In a post on X, Musk compared this feat with California's delayed vote-counting process, stating, "India counted 640 million votes in 1 day. California is still counting votes."

The comment came in response to an X post featuring an article titled, "How India Counted 640 Million Votes in a Day," accompanied by the caption, "Meanwhile in India, where cheating isn’t the primary goal of their elections."

California, which had 16 million voters participating in its November 5 election, is still processing over 300,000 ballots after 18 days. Reports indicate that around 570,000 ballots remain uncounted statewide, with delays attributed to the labor-intensive validation of mail-in votes.
