Harish Poojary murder: Bajrang Dal leader Bhuvith Shetty gets bail from HC

January 21, 2016

Mangaluru, Jan 21: A notorious Bajrang Dal leader, who was arrested on charge of murdering a Hindu youth in Bantwal to trigger communal violence, has managed to secure bail from Karnataka high court.

buvithshetty Bhuvith Shetty, Bantwal unit co-convenor of the saffron outfit, was arrested by Dakshina Kannada district police a week after he and his associates allegedly murdered Harish Poojary, attempted to murder his friend Sameeullah on November 12 with the only intention to spread violence.

The police had earlier said that Bhuvith Shetty and his associates had confessed to the crime. He was booked under IPC sections 341, 324, 307, 302 and others, he informed.

After a local court rejected his bail plea, he had moved high court. His advocated argued that he was arrested only based on suspicions without any solid evidence. The high court bench decided to grant him bail on Wednesday.

It could be recalled here that Harish Poojary and his friend Sameeullah were attacked by the miscreants with lethal weapons on November 12 at Manihalli in Bantwal taluk hours after Sangh Parivar activists tried to disrupt peace by pelting stones at SDPI protesters in BC Road. Harish died soon after the attack and Sameeullah is still recuperating. A day after this brutal attack the Bajrang Dal and other saffron outfits had imposed a violent bandh in coastal Karnataka alleging that the murder was committed by Muslims.

In August 2015, Bhuvith Shetty was arrested and released by Mangaluru city police after he posted a threatening tweet against writer K S Bhagwan for his remarks on the Bhagwad Gita. He had also claimed on twitter that he had chopped the hand of a Muslim youth.

In March 2015 the Bantwal town police had registered a case against Bhuvith Shetty for defaming Dakshina Kannada district-in-charge Minister Ramanath Rai by posting a photo, in which he is donning a saffron shawl, on a social networking site which attracted derogatory comments.

JUNGLE RAJ!

It looks like some people have \kujli\" with this news and started commenting on Hindu names. He was in fact framed by our Jihadi MLAs. Truth will be out one day."

UAE based business man may behind this bail. It may be order from Nagpur.

It is really unacceptable. People will lose hope with judiciary system.

This man is challenging the community. He is indeed a public enemy. He does not deserve bail.
This can make the people to loose faith in justice and judiciary system.

Real Shettys are not criminals. These are fake shettys spoils names of real shetties.

Our Law and order sold in a brothel, we cannot expect anything more, when the government influence to goondas, it is really our bad luck to see our country as intolerance

RSS's another devision DK Police dept. put weak case against Sanghis to get bail immediately. Impotent Police don't have guts face RSS.

If this aint intolerance then you define what is it

Money talks. Sorry to say, now a days you can buy law also.

These goondas have been backed by RSS and its money.
They guide them to kill, loot, riot etc. etc. to the Hindu youths especially Billawas and Shetty's ( never Brahmins and Konkani's)
and promise them that anything went wrong they are responsible .
Their case, their family expenses, releasing them etc. etc. RSS has a strong God fathers in Law and Police system.
They spoil our youngsters in the name of hindutva.

Karnataka Govt is weak! India law is poor..In our proud country a rapist gets bail, murderer gets bail but beef eaters dont get bail.. haha funny isnt it!

Under Modi India has become ocholocracy where guys like Bhuvith Shetty reign

By giving bail to such notorious criminal, indirectly our law encouraging such animals to do more heinous acts!!! How could we expect peace in our society??? God only hope on you, pls punish this goon in your way. We are waiting.

Bhuvith Shetty is a bast***, lunatic & shud b crushed before he becomes another togadia

RSS's Hindutva for personal gains only Bhuvith Shetty killed Poojary thinking him Muslim was looking for Job in Gulf.

Bhuvith Shetty is an activist of the RSS. He has been involved in cases related to online and physical crimes and released from jail.

Sanghis Killed Poojary Right wing activist, Bhuvith Shetty & his gang killed poojari mistaken him as Muslim.They r involved in other crimes too.

News Network

July 1,2020

Bengaluru, Jul 1: Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) chief DK Shivakumar on Wednesday said that the state Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa should apologise to the nation for the Ballari incident.

"It is shocking to see the Ballari incident. The way the dead bodies of the corona victims have been treated is very unfortunate. The entire country witnessed it. I request the Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa to apologise to the nation. India is known for its values and traditions," Shivakumar told reporters here.

Earlier, Shivakumar had posted a video which allegedly showed officials 'inhumanly' dumping bodies of those patients who die of COVID into a pit in Ballari, the district administration confirmed it and said that the entire field team involved in the incident has been disbanded.

"It's disturbing to see bodies of COVID patients who have died being dumped inhumanly into a pit in Ballari. Is this civility? This is a reflection of how the government has handled this Corona crisis. I urge the govt to take immediate action and ensure that this doesn't happen again," Shivakumar's tweet, which also had a video of the incident embedded, read.

The Deputy Commissioner, Ballari issued a press note which stated that it had conducted an enquiry after the video surfaced and it was found that the video belonged to the district and "comprises of burial of eight people who passed away after succumbing to COVID-19."

Although, according to the DC, all protocols and SOPs were followed by the team during the burial process, however, the "disrespectful handling of the bodies while being lowered on to the ground by the field staff" led to the entire field team involved being disbanded and will be replaced by a new team trained by the HOD, Forensic, VIMS.

The district administration also issued an unconditional apology to the families of the deceased and to others who were hurt by the incident.

Meanwhile, Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa also termed the behaviour of the staff "very inhuman and very painful" and urged the staff to tread cautiously with humanity in handling the funeral of those affected by the disease, and added, "Let's walk with humanity, and realize that there is no greater religion than humanity."

Karnataka CM BS Yediyurappa tests positive for covid-19, hospitalized

coastaldigest.com news network

August 3,2020

Bengaluru, Aug 3: Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa tweeted late Sunday night that he had tested positive for the novel coronavirus.

In a brief post on Twitter, Mr Yediyurappa said that he was fine but had been hospitalised on the advice of doctors. While his daughter Padmavathi has also tested positive for the virus, the Chief Minister's son, Vijayendra, has tested negative.

The Chief Minister's media team has said he has been admitted to Manipal Hospital. Mr Yediyurappa, 77, also requested those who had come in contact with him to be wary of Covid symptoms and self-isolate.

"I have tested positive for coronavirus. Whilst I am fine, I am being hospitalised as a precaution on recommendation of doctors. I request those who have come in contact with me recently to be observant and exercise self-quarantine," the Chief Minister's tweet read.

The testing of the Chief Minister was done as part of the routine weekly tests he undergoes along with his staff. The results of Mr Yediyurappa's gunmen and security staff, around 50 of them, are expected today.

Staff members at Mr Yediyurappa's home office, Krishna, had tested positive early last month.

At that time Mr Yediyurappa said: "I am going to discharge my duties from home from today for the next few days in view of some of the staff in the office-cum-residence Krishna testing positive".

Mr Yediyurappa had also met Karnataka Governor Vajubhai Vala in Bengaluru on Friday. State Home Minister Basavaraj Bommai was also present at the meeting.

The Chief Minister is the second high-profile political leader to confirm testing positive for COVID-19 today; hours earlier Union Home Minister Amit Shah tweeted similar news.

Mr Shah, 55, too said he was "fine" and that he had been hospitalised on the "advice of doctors".

The minister also asked all those who had been in contact with him over the last few days to "please isolate yourself and get your tests done".

The Home Minister was at a cabinet meet last week, at which top colleagues, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman were present.

All Covid norms, including social distancing, were followed at that meeting, sources said.

Last month Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan tested positive for the virus as well. He has been in hospital since then and tweeted today to say that he was well and, minutes after Mr Yediyurappa tweeted his Covid positive status, he posted a get-well-soon message.

"I pray to God for your speedy recovery, Yediyurappaji," Mr Chouhan wrote.

Mr Chouhan had tweeted a message for Mr Shah too. "Home Minister Amit Shah, may God help you recover soon, so you can serve the nation with full energy. Our best wishes are with you," his tweet read.

Former Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah also tweeted, saying: "I wish BS Yediyurappa a speedy recovery and to return with good health to continue his work for the people".

Tamil Nadu Governor Banwarilal Purohit also tested positive today, Chennai's Kauvery Hospital, where he has been admitted, said. He is asymptomatic and clinically stable.

On Sunday morning the virus claimed the life of a UP minister - Kamal Rani Varun, 62, died at Lucknow's Sanjay Gandhi Postgraduate Institute of Medical Sciences.

Over the last 24 hours, 54,735 cases were reported, taking the total number of cases to 17,50,723, data from the Health Ministry showed.

The continuing spike in cases over the past weeks comes as India gradually re-opens its economy after more than four months of the world's strictest lockdown. Unlock3, the third phase of easing of restrictions, came into effect on Saturday.

It took just 185 days for India to cross the 17-lakh mark after the first case was reported in Kerala in January; it took 110 days to record the first 1 lakh cases. More than 60 per cent of total cases in the country and over 50 per cent of total deaths have been recorded in July.
