Mangaluru, May 2: Activists of Deshapremi Sanghatanegala Ookoota took out a padayatra from P.V.S. Kalakunj to the office of the Police Commissioner here on Monday urging the police to arrest Naresh Shenoy alias NaMo Naresh, the leader of NaMo Brigade, and two of his associates.

NaMo Naresh is a key suspect in the murder case of of Right to Information (RTI) activist Vinayak Baliga, who was hacked to death in the city on March 21.

In a memorandum to the Police Commissioner, rationalist Narendra Nayak claimed that Mr. Shenoy was a politically, economically and socially influential person.

There are doubts that some more influential persons could have been behind the murder, the memorandum read. An attempt was being made to prevent the arrest of Mr. Shenoy so that other influential persons behind the murder could be saved, the memorandum said.

No laxity

On the other hand Police Commissioner M. Chandra Sekhar said that police are still in search of Mr Shenoy.

To a question during a press conference here Mr. Sekhar said, “We have been doing our best. There is no laxity on our part.” The Commissioner said that the Ullal incidents shifted the focus from this case. But efforts are on to trace him, he added.

It may be mentioned here that an additional district and sessions court here on Friday rejected the advance bail plea by Mr. Shenoy.

The order was passed by II Additional District and Sessions Judge Sarvottam Shettigar. Public Prosecutor Shekhar Shetty had objected to the advance bail plea stating that the suspect was an influential person and there was every possibility of he tampering with the evidence and witnesses if given bail.

The prosecution had also argued that the suspect should have presented himself before the police to help the investigation. However, he has been absconding since the time of murder, the prosecution said.

Bengaluru, Jul 17: Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa on Friday held a meeting with the Ministers-in-charge of eight zones to take stock of the COVID-19 situation and its management in Bengaluru.

Yediyurappa suggested that it should be ensured that both COVID-19 and other patients get timely treatment. He advised home quarantine for asymptomatic patients and hospitals and COVID Care Centers would provide treatment for those who are severely symptomatic.

He said, Rapid Antigen Testing should be carried out for those who died in the hospital, for immediate delivery of the corpse for funeral arrangements. He also said to conduct Rapid Antigen Test for those who have died at home and take action for the funeral of the dead.

The chief minister said, lockdown is not a solution to COVID-19 control, he made it clear that the government has no plans to continue with the lockdown in Bengaluru.

"To fill the shortage of doctors, the process of filling vacancies is ongoing," he said.

"Volunteers are identified and ambulances are assigned to each ward.  Strict action should be taken if private hospitals do not provide beds to patients," the Chief Minister said.

The chief minister said volunteers and nodal officers would be appointed to provide information on the enrollment and availability of beds to COVID-19 infected persons in private hospitals.

"Welfare pavilions and lodges have been identified in each ward, suggesting the use of quarters to quarantine those who do not have separate rooms," the Chief Minister said.

He said, allocate bed within two hours of the result of the test and the ambulance must take action to take the person to the hospital. The Chief Minister suggested that the system be decentralised, zoned, and monitored.
