Gulabi Shetty, has claimed that Rajeshwari's brother-in-law also called Bhaskar Shetty and nephew Balakrishna Shetty might have involved in the conspiracy to kill her son, who owned business establishments in Saudi Arabia and Udupi.

The elderly woman also requested the police to the call records of these two persons from July 28 to August 7, so that they can get a clear picture of their alleged involvement.

In a memorandum forwarded to Shobha Karandlaje, MP of Udupi-Chikkamagaluru constituency, and to Oscar Fernandes, Congress leader and Rajya Sabha, she has demanded investigation by the CID or by an experienced officer citing the inefficiency of the police.

Police have so far arrested five accused in the case: Bhaskar Shetty's wife Rajeshwari Shetty, their son Navneeth Shetty, their astrologer friend Niranjan Bhat, his father Krishna Bhat, and accomplice Raghavendra.

KT Balakrishna, superintendent of police, Udupi visited the crime spot at Nandilakke on Saturday. He said, "The investigating team has taken Niranjan Bhat for mahajar in the area where the body was burnt. There are three teams working on the case and collecting circumstantial evidence."

Sources said Rajeshwari, prior to the murder, purchased pepper spray from Radha Medicals, a pharmacy near Udupi bus stand on July 27. She went to the medical shop with two persons. Police took the CCTV footage from the medical shop. Police are trying to ascertain the identity of the two persons seated in the car.

It is also said that police managed to trace the clothes which the accused wore during the crime. The blood-stained clothes, which had been given to a laundry, gave police some clues.

Life is a blessing from the CREATOR of all that exists
Marriage is a blessing for human desire and needs which can prevent from falling in lust and other bad habits.
Childrens are a blessing as well.
ISLAM says there will be ups and downs in life and in times of calamity be patience and ask ALLAH in Salah.
In times of happiness Dont forget to praise the CREATOR ALLAH.

Quran explains some of the unseen world which ALLAH created... Unless people search for it .. We will be IGNORANT of the unseen world. Its a difference when we PONDER On what QURAN says. LIFE will be easy to cope with the situation U face in our daily LIFE...

Every Crime happens, there is a part of unseen involved in it.. (a clue is Magicians,Soothsayers and such people use this unseen power by rejecting god's word - Which will take them to hell(eternal) if they continue and never repent)

Those who are still not read QURAN, Please read and Ponder on what it says... It will save the husband wife hate relationship and it clearly gives US. Y evil happens in this temporary world...

ALLAH guides those who are honest. Allah knows best.

Bengaluru, Jul 29: The Karnataka High Court’s division bench of Chief Justice Abhay Oka and Justice H P Sandesh today rejected an application that wanted Amulya Leona’s case to be transferred from Karnataka Police to the National Investigation Agency (NIA).

The bench, while observing that extraordinary jurisdiction can’t be exercised for transferring the case to the NIA, asked “What is so special that investigation should be transferred to NIA?”

The court, in its previous hearing, had questioned the maintainability of the petition seeking transfer of the sedition case against Leona to the NIA.

According to the petitioner, advocate Pavana Chandra Shetty, the case is a serious matter against national integration and unity and has not been investigated properly by the police. The state police also failed to file the chargesheet within 90 days, he said, and also asked for cancellation of her bail.

The bench asked the petitioner as to how a bail, already granted to a person, can be cancelled. “Is it not the indefeasible right of the accused to be released on bail if chargesheet is not filed within stipulated time? How can you make a prayer for cancellation of bail?”  the Court asked.

The counsel for the petitioner also stated that in cases of a cognizable offence, when the chargesheet is purposely not filed within the stipulated time, the matter will have to transferred to the appropriate authority.

The court responded to his contention by asking him how could the court override law and cancel the bail. “Where is the question of cancellation of bail? Can we override the law and say that bail should be cancelled?” said the bench.

Advocate Vishal Raghu had filed the petition for transfer of Leona’s case, who was accused of raising pro-Pakistan slogans at an anti-CAA rally on February 20 at Freedom Park. The advocate had blamed the probe team for not filing a chargesheet on time and has asked the state government to approach the higher court against bail granted to Leona.

Bengaluru student Amulya Leona was charged with sedition for her actions in the presence of All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul-Muslimeen chief Asaduddin Owaisi. She was arrested by the Bengaluru police for allegedly shouting ‘Pakistan Zindabad’ slogans at an anti- CAA Protest in Bengaluru in February this year. On June 11, she was granted conditional bail by the Bengaluru civil court.

Her bail plea was earlier rejected by a Bengaluru court, after she had spent a three-month period in jail, stating that she may abscond if she is released. The sessions judge Vidhyadhar Shirahatti had also stated that if the petitioner is granted bail, she may abscond and may involve in similar offence which affects peace at large and hence her petition is liable to be rejected. The court had also noted that Amulya Leona is an influential person who may threaten and influence the witness and hamper the case in case of the prosecution and will abscond if released on bail.

It has been 33 years since the night of 22 May, 1987 when nearly 50 Muslim men from Hashimpura, a settlement in Meerut were rounded up and packed into the rear of a truck of the Provincial Armed Constabulary (PAC), an armed police of Uttar Pradesh. It was the blessed month of Ramadan and all the Muslims were fasting.

That night 42 of those on board the truck were killed in two massacres in neighbouring Ghaziabad district. One along the Upper Ganga canal near Muradnagar, the other along the Hindon canal in Makanpur, on the border with Delhi.

The cops had returned home after dumping the dead bodies into the canal. A few days later, the dead bodies were found floating in the canal and a case of murder was registered. 

Vir Bahadur Singh was the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh and Rajiv Gandhi was the prime minister of India when this incident took place. 

Not much has changed for the survivors and the relatives of the victims even today. The wounds are still fresh. Hashimpura remains devoid of basic municipal amenities, the erring silence on the narrow lanes of the locality amid the activities of a daily life speaks of the horror of the fateful day in 1987.

The massacre was the result of one among the many outcomes of the decision taken by the Rajiv Gandhi government to open the locks of Babri Masjid. After a month of rioting, the situation was tense in various parts of Meerut, and a lot spilled over in the nearby areas.
