Sharath Shetty murder case: Accused Yogish Acharya surrenders

The accused has been absconding for the last one year, the Kaup Police have taken him into police custody and are further investigating the matter.

Yogish Acharya had been absconding since the crime but surrendered to the Udupi court on May 23. Kapu Circle Inspector Jayashree S. Mane, the investigating officer, obtained a body warrant and took Acharya into custody for five days for further questioning.
During the investigation, the police seized documents and a mobile phone from Acharya. With his initial custody period ending, Acharya is set to be produced before the court on May 30. Police sources indicate that there is a possibility of extending his custody for further investigation. All accused, except gangster Kali Yogeesh, have been arrested in this case.
