Udupi, Aug 12: The emergence of two eyebrow-raising videos that show how the investigation officer accorded a royal treatment' to the two main accused in NRI businessman Bhaskar Shetty murder case has damaged the credibility of Udupi police.

The first video footage clearly shows that Manipal Inspector of Police S.V. Girish, who was the Investigation Officer in this mysterious case, treated the two prime accused in the murder- Rajeshwari Shetty and Navneeth Shetty-with great respect.

The video shows that the inspector allowed Navneeth to sit in the front seat of the jeep, where the former had to sit.

As soon as this video started going viral on social and Udupi district in-charge minister Pramod Madhwaraj brought the matter to the notice of State home minister, the inspector was shifted out of the probe team and Assistant Superintendent of Police, D P Sumana was appointed as the Investigation Officer.

Taken to restaurant

Meanwhile, another controversial CCTV footage has surfaced wherein cops take Rajeshwari and Navneeth to a bar-attached restaurant in Nitte and allow them to take rest there.

Though this incident took place a couple of days ago when the duo was taken to Nanadalike village for crime spot investigation, the video was leaked on Friday.

Meanwhile, Mr Madhwaraj has written to Home Minister G. Parameshwara, urging him to hand over the case to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID).

DNA report awaited

52-year-old Bhaskar Shetty, who owned business establishments in Udupi and Saudi Arabia, went missing from his house here on July 28. His mother, Gulabi Shetty, lodged a missing complaint in the Manipal police station on July 29.

While several rumours were doing the rounds, things took a dramatic turn when Bhaskar Shetty's relative, Joggu Shetty, said he strongly suspected the businessman's wife Rajeshwari (46), their son Navneet (24) and a priest Niranjan Bhat (25) to be involved in the case. On August 7, the police arrested Rajeshwari and Navneet on the charge of murdering Bhaskar Shetty and destroying evidence.

While they arrested Niranjan in Nitte on August 8, he attempted suicide by consuming his diamond ring and a pair of earrings. He is at Kasturba Hospital in Manipal.

On August 10, the police arrested Srinivas Bhat (55), Niranjan's father, and Raghava (35), Niranjan's driver, at Nandalike on the charge of destruction of evidence.

Meanwhile, the police have taken samples from the yagna kund' in Niranjan's house where Bhat allegedly burnt the dead body of Bhaskar Shetty. They have also recovered a few bones from the rivulet at Palli, which have been sent for DNA test.

Bengaluru, Jun 9: A 42-year-old founding director of an engineering consultancy firm lost Rs 65,000 to online fraudsters who posed as representatives of a mobile service provider and lured him with the offer of a fancy number recently.

Asif (name changed) received a text message on May 19, informing him that a platinum number, 9099999999, was available and interested people could dial a mobile number to avail it.

“Asif, who runs a mechanical, electrical, plumbing (MEP) engineering consultancy near Shivajinagar, decided to get the fancy mobile number. He called the number and the receiver said they would generate an invoice for his request. After a fake invoice for Rs 64,900 was generated, Asif paid the money through online transaction that day. Asif waited for two weeks for the SIM card with the fancy number to reach him,” an officer said.

East CEN Crime police registered a case of cheating under section 420 of IPC and sections under the Information Technology Act after Asif lodged a complaint on June 6.
