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.

murderer

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.

Bellari, Feb 23: Fringe outfit Sri Ram Sena leader Sanjeev Maradi said on Friday said that organization will reward Rs 10 lakh to the person who will 'eliminate' those who have raised "pro-Pakistan" slogans including Amulya who recently raised "Pakistan Zindabad" slogan at an anti-CAA protest in Bengaluru.

"We request both state and central government not to release them (Pro-Pakistan sloganeers) on bail. If they will be released Sri Ram Sena will eliminate them or will give a reward of Rupees 10 lakh to those who kill them," said Sanjeev Maradi.

"We condemn such slogans. This is like a virus. First, it happened in Jammu and Kashmir, then in JNU, then Mysore and then a student named Amulya raised pro Pakistan slogan in Bengaluru," he added.

A girl named Amulya raised 'Pakistan Zindabad' slogan on Thursday at an anti-CAA protest where AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi was also invited.

Thereafter, a case was registered under Section 124A (Offence of sedition) of the Indian Penal Code against the student.

Meanwhile, Imran Pasha, the organizer of the anti-CAA protest said that Amulya was not invited to the event.

"We were the organizers of the event. At around 6:45 pm on Thursday, when I and Member of Parliament Asaduddin Owaisi were entering the stage area, we did not notice Amulya was present there. I did not invite her," Pasha told media.
