The judge pronounced the judicial custody as police did not seek the extension of police custody. The first suspect Rajeshwari has been shifted to the jail in Mangaluru as there is no women's cell in the district prison. The other two suspects will be housed at the district jail in Anjaru.

Senior assistant public prosecutor Praveen Kumar R N said the chargesheet would be filed within 90 days of the arrest.

A highly placed police source said many evidences have been collected and the investigating team needs some more time to interrogate thoroughly the evidences collected from the accused who were interrogated. The mother and son were taken into nine days custody, while the astrologer was taken to the police custody for four days. The police have the privilege of seeking the accused for 15 days' custody, the source added.

Meanwhile, the application for the DNA profiling of the blood samples of the mother and the elder brother of the deceased would come before the court on August 18, as the application was moved by the police on August 13.

The source added that the crucial evidences collected are now being meticulously linked up to build the chain of incidents involving crime. The accused have confessed of disposing the crucial evidences, including the mortal remains of Bhaskar Shetty, at three places, including rivers at Palli, Kadandale and Kalkaru.

While the bones and other remains of the body were dumped at one place, the mop used to wipe the blood stains and the pesticide and repellent bottles used for crime, the bucket and mugs were dumped in another river. The source added that the chances of collecting the evidences are grim due to the flow of water. But, the plastic materials like bottle, bucket and mug can be recovered, the added.

A major search would be taken up at Palli River to collect the evidences. The materials dumped in the river should be searched. If there are no further evidences recovered, there is no requirement for the police custody. The DNA report can be expected in another 15-20 days. The report plays a crucial role. Even the minute traces are also being dispatched for the DNA test which might take much longer period, the source said.

Mahazar was conducted at all the places. The articles used for crime were purchased from different outlets. There are nearly four to five shops. They conspired in different areas and later executed their plot accordingly. After the execution, the evidences were also disposed of at three to four places. The ashes were disposed of in Palli river. The source added that the conviction highly depends on DNA test.

Burial of Covid-19 victims cannot be denied for any reason: Karnataka Waqf Board

News Network

July 17,2020

Bengaluru, Jul 17: The Karnataka State Board of AUQAF has ordered that management committees at Muslim Khabarastans, shall not refuse burial to Muslims died due to COVID-19.

"...in exercise the powers conferred under Waqf Act 1995, it is hereby ordered that management Committees/Muthawallies/Administrators responsible for the management of Muslim Khabarastans in the state of Karnataka irrespective of registered or unregistered in the Waqf, shall not refuse the burial of Muslims died due to COVID-19 pandemic," read an order from the Karnataka State Board of AUQAF on Thursday.

"They shall co-operate with all the Nodal Officers designated for this purpose regarding the decent burial. Non co-operation or refusal on the part of the management will be construed as an insult committed to the deceased. Any violation of the above order will attract the punitive provision of Indian Penal Code and removal from the management as per the provisions of the Waqf Act 1995," the order read.

It further said that the Waqf Officers, District Wakf Advisory Committees of the state, shall ensure the adherence of this order, and circulate the same to all the Khabarastan managements, registered or unregistered in the state.

"No further deliberation in this regard is solicited except compliance of the order in letter and spirit. Any dereliction in this regard will be viewed seriously," it read.

Giving a background on the issue of burial of COVID-19 deceased, the order read, "It is observed that, number of deaths are being occurred in various Districts of Karnataka, due to COVID-19 pandemic and it is reported that, some of the management committees of Khabarastan, are not cooperating to bury the dead bodies of COVID-19."

"A decent burial is a right of the dead person" as per the law of the land and the Islamic jurisprudence. It is needless to emphasize the importance of burial of Muslim dead bodies in Shariah. The dead body of a Muslim is treated with the utmost respect by the Ummah, joining in the funeral (Tadfeen), participating in the Namaz-e-Janaza and the burial are considered as Farz-e-Kifaya in Muslim law. According to the tradition of Islam, the person who participates in the funeral is entitled to Mountain sized reward (Sawaab)," the order read.

As per the order, the board, in its earlier circular had also cautioned the management of Waqf institutions and Khabarastan which were reluctant to allow the decent burial in the Khabarastan would be punished under the provisions of Indian Penal Code and the punitive provisions of the Waqf Act 1995 as well.

"The District Magistrates and the Superintendent of Police in the districts have been requested to prosecute the erring management committees who are responsible for non co-operation in this regard. Hence, the following order," it added.
