Shiroor seer was not murdered, was a natural death: Pejawar seer
Hubballi, July 19: Condoling the death of Shiroor seer Lakshmivara Theertha Swami, Pejawar mutt seer Vishwesha Theertha swamiji said that there is no information of poisoning the seer.
Speaking to the media here, senior seer said that he was told that seer died of kidney failure. Who will poison him? There is no need to poison Shiroor seer. Seers will never kill others, he opined.
Nobody will think of grabbing the his seer post by killing him. He was suffering from health related ailments since one year, seer said.
"I will return to Udupi today night and I will decide about taking part in his last rites there. I have not received any phone call from Shiroor mutt. Sodhi mutt will appoint the successor. If they seek any advice I will give. Seer's brother has informed me that he died of food poisoning. There is no connection between handing over Patta Devaru and his death. There was communication between us and Shiroor mutt. We had some differences regarding his statements. But personally I loved and trusted him, Pejawar seer said.
I have learnt that his death has raised many doubts. Many suspect that he might have poisoned. An inquiry will be done if necessary, seer added.

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.
