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: 90 Bangladeshis, including 28 children, held in Mathura for illegal stay
Mathura (UP), May 16 (PTI): As many as 90 Bangladeshi nationals, including many children, were apprehended from Uttar Pradesh's Mathura district on Friday for alleged illegal stay in India, officials said.
They were taken into custody from local brickyards at Khajpur village under the Naujheel police station limits, a senior officer said.
"Regular searches were being conducted throughout the district. During one such operation, police were searching some local brickyards when they came across Bangladeshi nationals working there," SSP Shlok Kumar said.
Giving a break-up, the officer said in all, 35 men, 27 women and 28 children have been taken into custody.
"During interrogation, all of them admitted to being Bangladeshi nationals living illegally in India. They moved to Mathura three to four months back from a neighbouring state. Police are trying to establish their links," the SSP said, adding that their job contractor and other associates are also being questioned.
The officer told PTI that police also recovered some Aadhaar cards from the Bangladeshi nationals, apparently issued on forged documents in some other state.
Further legal proceedings are underway, Kumar said.
