Udupi, July 23: SP Laxman Nimbargi on Monday visited the Shiroor Moola Mutt and collected information regarding the death of Lakshmivara Tirtha Swamiji of Shiroor Mutt.
As the investigation was going on under the direction of the SP, he has visited the mutt and inspected some rooms in the mutt and collected information about CCTV camera and DVR. He has also interrogated some people related to the mutt, it is said.
SP clarifies
The SP said that the news that a woman was admitted to poison the swamiji was completely false news. Till now, the police did not take any woman into their custody and enquired her. He also declined the news that the DVR of the CCTV camera of the mutt was missing. All news being circulated regarding the death of the swamiji were far from truth, the SP said.
Police team has not gone anywhere
As the reason for the death of the swamiji is not yet known, the police are waiting for the autopsy and FSL report. Without having these two reports, the police were finding it difficult to get the lead in the case. “Investigation is on related to the case. Police cannot take any step without getting the autopsy and FSL report. However, the police have been interrogating some people just to collect the information. Apart from this, they have not taken anyone into custody and the police teams have never been to other places”, a senior police officer said.

Belagavi youth’s murder case projected as road accident, cracked in Uttara Kannada; Three arrested
Karwar: Uttara Kannada police have cracked a murder case in which a Belagavi youth was killed and his body burnt inside a car to make it appear like a road accident.
Addressing a press meet in the city, Superintendent of Police Deepan M.N. said three accused from Old Hubballi have been arrested in connection with the case. The crime was a pre-planned act driven by personal enmity, he said.
The case came to light on April 8 morning when a car (KA-04/MJ-8996) was found completely burnt in a roadside ditch near Talekumbri bus stand in Yellapur. Only charred human remains were found inside the vehicle. Initially, it was suspected to be an accident caused by overspeeding, and a case was registered at Yellapur police station based on a complaint filed by the deceased’s father, Jagannath Dhapale.
However, the father later expressed suspicion that his son’s death was not accidental, prompting a detailed investigation.
Taking the matter seriously, two special teams were formed under the leadership of Yellapur Inspector Ramesh Hanapur. On analysing technical evidence and CCTV footage, police found that it was a planned murder.
The accused have been identified as Abdul Raheem Basheer Ahmed Mujawar (32), Maulasab Bavahan Wada (36) and Dadapeer alias Aftab Mehboob Saab Balasangi (22), all chicken traders from Old Hubballi.
Police have seized the car used in the crime along with two scooters. The accused have been remanded to judicial custody.
Investigations revealed that the accused killed Nitesh Dhapale due to personal enmity and later set the car on fire along with the body to project it as an accident.
SP Deepan M.N. appreciated the efforts of Inspector Ramesh Hanapur, PSIs Rajashekhar Vandali and Siddappa Gudi, and the entire team for solving the complex case.
