Bhat had swallowed the ring and studs in Bengaluru on August 7, Additional Superintendent of Police Vishnuvardhan N siad. He was arrested at Nitte in Karkala, Udupi district, a day later but didn't show any signs of ill health.

Around 11 pm, he complained of severe stomach pain. Police rushed him to hospital but he tried to avoid undergoing scan.

Investigation Officer S V Girish made him undergo the scan to locate the ornaments in the stomach and intestine. He was fed natural laxatives such as bananas and raw vegetables.

The ornaments may take some time to come out of the body through the bowels. Doctors are checking his stools (faeces).

As of now, Bhat is out of danger as the ring he had swallowed was a whole one. The ring or studs were not powdered. But doctors fear harm to his intestines from the sharp edges of the ear studs.

Bhaskar Shetty, a prominent businessman from Udupi, who owned a chain of supermarkets in Saudi Arabia, had gone missing on July 28 and was found murdered later.

Police have arrested his wife Rajeshwari B Shetty, son Navneeth Shetty and Bhat for the murder. They suspect Rajeshwari was having an affair with Bhat and misappropriating Shetty's money.

Shetty had also threatened to divorce Rajeshwari and disown her as well as Navneeth.

Mom-son in custody

Rajeshwari and son Navneeth Shetty were on Monday remanded in police custody for five days. Manipal police had sought nine days of custody when they were produced before Additional Civil Judge (Senior Division) Rajesh Karnan of Udupi court.

Sources said that apart from Rajeshwari, Navneeth and astrologer Niranjan Bhat, some others could have been involved in the murder, said sources.

Bengaluru, Feb 12: Mohammed Nalapad, the rogue son of Karnataka Congress leader NA Harris, who is out on bail in a 2018 case of him bashing up a man at a pub, has now rammed his luxury car into vehicles, injuring four people on Bengaluru road.

The incident took place on Sunday on the Ballari Road where Nalapad was rash driving his car. The car hit a biker and an autorickshaw, injuring four people. He immediately got off his car and fled riding a friend's car.

The biker has suffered a fracture in his leg and is undergoing treatment at a hospital.

According to police, soon after the accident a man appeared before police to claim responsibility for the accident.

Ravikante Gowde, Joint Commissioner of Police said, "A man named Balakrishna came to surrender as the one who was driving the car. Investigation has, however, showed that it was Nalapad who was driving when he met with the accident. The investigating officer has issued him a notice to appear before the police."

BJP spokesperson S Prakash has said, "A case under the Goonda Act should be filed against Nalapad and the court should take cognisance of this and cancel his bail. The father has no control over son. He is a serial offender who is harming the public on a repeated basis."

Nalapad was earlier arrested in 2018 in the Bengaluru pub incident in which he and his associate bashed up the son of a prominent businessman in the city. Nalapad Harris is out on bail after remaining in judicial custody for three months in the case of attempt to murder after the 2018 midnight brawl.

Bantwal, Jun 26: A day after expressing gratitude for the overwhelming response from students for the SSLC examinations, Karnataka Minister for Primary and Secondary Education S Suresh Kumar on Friday took to Twitter to laud a student who didn’t let his physical hurdles deter him from writing the examination.

Sharing image of the student, Kaushik, who wrote the SSLC examination at Bantwal’s SVS High School, the Minister said that he was taken aback by the boy’s spirit for writing the exam independently without relying on anyone’s help. Such individuals give new meaning to life. Others should learn from this.

In the picture, Kaushik is seen seated on the floor and using his toes to write answers.
