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.

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.
