Udupi, Nov 5: The trio accused of murdering hotelier and NRI businessman Bhaskar Shetty, 52, googled topics like, 'How to kill a man and destroy evidence?' and 'Easiest ways of killing humans and not getting caught', before committing the crime, Criminal Investigation Department (CID) sources said.bhaskershetty

The CID on Thursday submitted a 1,300-page chargesheet to a Udupi court, accusing Shetty's wife Rajeshwari, 50, son Navaneet, 20, and family astrologer Niranjan Bhat, 26, of killing and burning him on July 28. The chargesheet also names Niranjan's father Srinivas Bhat, 56, and Shettys' driver Raghavendra P, 26, as the trio's accomplices.

"We have seized the computer and hard disk used by Navaneet at his Udupi home and have sent it to FSL for examination. Navaneet, Rajeshwari and Niranjan read several articles online related to murders, destruction of evidence, quickest methods of killing and escaping law," CID sources said, quoting from the chargesheet. The accused also researched topics like 'self-defence instructions'.

"They were prepared for any retaliation from Bhaskar Shetty. After checking on the internet, they decided to use pepper spray on Shetty so that he would be in no position to open his eyes or respond," sources said.

According to investigating officials, the accused surfed the internet for at least a month. "The FSL report on the hard disc will reveal for how long they researched. This proves it was a well-planned and executed murder," a CID official said, adding, "We aren't sure whether they just surfed the internet or downloaded the material and took printouts. The FSL report will clear these doubts," he said.

Shetty, who had many business firms and hotels in Dubai and Dakshina Kannada, was allegedly beaten to death by his wife and son in their Udupi house in July. The duo and and their astrologer friend later burnt the body in a homa kunda using 20 litres of petrol and a bagful of camphor in the latter's residence at Nandalike village, Udupi district. The homa kunda built of hollow bricks was dismantled by Niranjan's father and Raghavendra and thrown into a river along with ashes and Shetty's remains.

Mangaluru, Apr 26: In the wake of the fears among local people regarding the cremation of coronavirus victims, an understanding has been reached with all stakeholders that the Mangaluru city corporation's crematorium here will be the official funeral site for such cases in future.

Mangaluru South MLA D Vedavyas Kamath, who had to face stinging criticism on social media for his alleged support to local people who stopped the cremation of a COVID- 19 victim at Pachanady near here on Thursday, took an active role in finding the solution.

The body of the victim, a woman, had to be taken from Pachanady to Kaikunje during the night, delaying the funeral by hours.

Kamath visited Boloor on Saturday and sought to convince the people that cremating the bodies of coronavirus victims would not endanger their lives in any way as the guidelines of WHO and union health ministry are being strictly followed.

The crematorium at Boloor is run by the MCC and has an electric furnace and firewood pyres.

Kamath said a tacit understanding that final rites of COVID-19 patients inDakshina Kannada will be performed at Boloor has been reached at a meeting with all stakeholders.

Cremating bodies in such a controlled environment is deemed safe as per guidelines, he said.

City Mayor Diwakar, local corporator Jagadish Shetty and MCC assistant commissioner Madan Mohan took part in the meeting.

The decision was conveyed to the DK district administration.

The district administration has also launched a campaign on dead body management protocol to convince the people to ignore misinformation being spread regarding the cremation of coronavirus victims.
