Rejection of Puritanism might have caused Shiroor Swamiji’s death: suspects Kemaru Sri
Udupi, July 19: Esha Vittala Swamiji of Kemaru Sandipani Ashram suspected that rejection of Puritanism and embracing of the poor people irrespective of castes and religion might have caused the death of Lakshmivara Tirtha Swamiji of Shiroor Mutt.
Speaking to reporters near KMC hospital at Manipal on Thursday, the swamiji said that Shiroor Swamiji did not have any major health problems. So, the government should intervene and probe the death issue of the swamiji, he demanded.
The Shiroor swamiji was not always using solid food. He was taking juice. The food was being prepared in the Mutt. Now, a comprehensive inquiry should be conducted to know whether the swamiji was poisoned or not in his food, he demanded.
“When he spoke to me five days ago, he expressed his desire to move the court on handing over the Presiding Deity. Literally, he wept for the Presiding Deity. He was being haunted by the idol of Anna Vittala”, the swamiji said.

UP: Misled by GPS navigation, car falls into river from partially constructed bridge, 3 dead
Bareilly (UP), Nov 24: Three people died when their car fell into the Ramganga river from a partially constructed bridge here on Sunday, police said, adding that they suspect the driver was misled by its navigation system into taking the unsafe route.
The accident occurred around 10 am on the Khalpur-Dataganj road when the victims were travelling from Bareilly to Dataganj in the Badaun district, they said.
"Earlier this year, floods had caused the front portion of the bridge to collapse into the river, but this change had not been updated in the system," Circle Officer Ashutosh Shivam said.
The driver was using a navigation system and did not realise that the bridge was unsafe, driving the car off the damaged section, the police said.
There were no safety barriers or warning signs on the approach to the damaged bridge, leading to the fatal accident, Shivam said.
Upon receiving information, police teams from Faridpur, Bareilly and Dataganj police station rushed to the spot. They recovered the vehicle and the bodies from the river, Shivam added.
The circle officer said that bodies had been sent for post-mortem. Further investigation into the matter is underway.
