Udupi, Aug 12: The emergence of two eyebrow-raising videos that show how the investigation officer accorded a royal treatment' to the two main accused in NRI businessman Bhaskar Shetty murder case has damaged the credibility of Udupi police.

murderer

The first video footage clearly shows that Manipal Inspector of Police S.V. Girish, who was the Investigation Officer in this mysterious case, treated the two prime accused in the murder- Rajeshwari Shetty and Navneeth Shetty-with great respect.

The video shows that the inspector allowed Navneeth to sit in the front seat of the jeep, where the former had to sit.

As soon as this video started going viral on social and Udupi district in-charge minister Pramod Madhwaraj brought the matter to the notice of State home minister, the inspector was shifted out of the probe team and Assistant Superintendent of Police, D P Sumana was appointed as the Investigation Officer.

Taken to restaurant

Meanwhile, another controversial CCTV footage has surfaced wherein cops take Rajeshwari and Navneeth to a bar-attached restaurant in Nitte and allow them to take rest there.

Though this incident took place a couple of days ago when the duo was taken to Nanadalike village for crime spot investigation, the video was leaked on Friday.

Meanwhile, Mr Madhwaraj has written to Home Minister G. Parameshwara, urging him to hand over the case to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID).

DNA report awaited

52-year-old Bhaskar Shetty, who owned business establishments in Udupi and Saudi Arabia, went missing from his house here on July 28. His mother, Gulabi Shetty, lodged a missing complaint in the Manipal police station on July 29.

While several rumours were doing the rounds, things took a dramatic turn when Bhaskar Shetty's relative, Joggu Shetty, said he strongly suspected the businessman's wife Rajeshwari (46), their son Navneet (24) and a priest Niranjan Bhat (25) to be involved in the case. On August 7, the police arrested Rajeshwari and Navneet on the charge of murdering Bhaskar Shetty and destroying evidence.

While they arrested Niranjan in Nitte on August 8, he attempted suicide by consuming his diamond ring and a pair of earrings. He is at Kasturba Hospital in Manipal.

On August 10, the police arrested Srinivas Bhat (55), Niranjan's father, and Raghava (35), Niranjan's driver, at Nandalike on the charge of destruction of evidence.

Meanwhile, the police have taken samples from the yagna kund' in Niranjan's house where Bhat allegedly burnt the dead body of Bhaskar Shetty. They have also recovered a few bones from the rivulet at Palli, which have been sent for DNA test.

New Delhi, Feb 29: The arsonists, who were allegedly hired by the pro-CAA politicians in Delhi to unleash violence against Muslims, did not even spare the residence of Border Security Force personnel Mohammed Anees.

While the jawan, who has spent three years guarding the borders along Jammu and Kashmir, had hoped that his job profile mentioned on the nameplate hung outside their two-storey house would discourage the vandals, he was proved wrong. 

The nameplate on house number 76 in Khas Khajuri Gali clearly mentioned it was the property of a security force personnel who protects India’s borders from foreign invasions. Yet, it was burned down on the afternoon of February 25.

First, the ruthless goons set the vehicles parked outside the jawan’s house on fire, then they torched his home. Stones were also pelted at his house amid slogans of “idhar aa Pakistani, tujhe naagarikta dete hai” (Come here Pakistani, get your citizenship). 

Apart from Anees, his father Mohammed Moonis, 55, uncle Mohd Ahmed, 59, and 18-year-old cousin Niha Parveen were in the house. Sensing what was about to go down next, they all escaped from the house, and were helped by paramilitary troops.

Charred remains of the house now stand where the house was till three days ago. In the two lanes of Khajuri Khas near Anees’s house, 35 houses were set on fire. 

The loss suffered by the BSF soldier’s family was perhaps greater as they had kept all their life’s savings inside: two weddings in the family were to take place in the next three months.

Niha Parveen was to get married in April and Anees himself was to get married the following month. “All the things we collected all our life, jewellery – two gold necklaces, silver jewellery, it is all gone,” the family said.

“We used to buy jewellery on instalments… used to give money every month and collected this jewellery,” they said. Rs 3 lakh in cash for the wedding arrangements also got burnt along with other valuables and all their belongings.

Khajuri Khas is a Hindu-majority area, but Anees’s family says no neighbour of theirs was involved in the attack. “People came from outside.” Instead, their Hindu neighbours were asking the rioters to leave. They requested them to leave and helped douse the vehicles on fire.
