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.

New Delhi (PTI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday lamented that when national song Vande Mataram completed 100 years, the Constitution was "throttled" and nation chained by Emergency.
Initiating a discussion on 150 years of Vande Mataram in the Lok Sabha, Modi noted that when Vande Mataram completed 50 years, India was reeling under colonialism.
"When Vande Mataram completed 50 years, country was under colonial rule while at its 100th anniversary the nation was under Emergency," he said.
The prime minister noted that the mantra of Vande Mataram gave power and inspiration to the entire country during freedom struggle
"The mantra energised and inspired India’s freedom movement and showed the path of courage and determination. Remembering that sacred Vande Mataram today is a great privilege for all of us in this House.

"It is a matter of pride for us that we are witnessing the historic occasion of Vande Mataram completing 150 years," he said.
"When Vande Mataram completed 100 years, the nation was chained by the Emergency. At that time, the Constitution was throttled and those who lived and died for patriotism were pushed behind prison bars. The Emergency was a dark chapter in our history. Now we have the opportunity to restore the greatness of Vande Mataram. And I believe this opportunity should not be allowed to pass," Modi said.
