The judge pronounced the judicial custody as police did not seek the extension of police custody. The first suspect Rajeshwari has been shifted to the jail in Mangaluru as there is no women's cell in the district prison. The other two suspects will be housed at the district jail in Anjaru.

Senior assistant public prosecutor Praveen Kumar R N said the chargesheet would be filed within 90 days of the arrest.

A highly placed police source said many evidences have been collected and the investigating team needs some more time to interrogate thoroughly the evidences collected from the accused who were interrogated. The mother and son were taken into nine days custody, while the astrologer was taken to the police custody for four days. The police have the privilege of seeking the accused for 15 days' custody, the source added.

Meanwhile, the application for the DNA profiling of the blood samples of the mother and the elder brother of the deceased would come before the court on August 18, as the application was moved by the police on August 13.

The source added that the crucial evidences collected are now being meticulously linked up to build the chain of incidents involving crime. The accused have confessed of disposing the crucial evidences, including the mortal remains of Bhaskar Shetty, at three places, including rivers at Palli, Kadandale and Kalkaru.

While the bones and other remains of the body were dumped at one place, the mop used to wipe the blood stains and the pesticide and repellent bottles used for crime, the bucket and mugs were dumped in another river. The source added that the chances of collecting the evidences are grim due to the flow of water. But, the plastic materials like bottle, bucket and mug can be recovered, the added.

A major search would be taken up at Palli River to collect the evidences. The materials dumped in the river should be searched. If there are no further evidences recovered, there is no requirement for the police custody. The DNA report can be expected in another 15-20 days. The report plays a crucial role. Even the minute traces are also being dispatched for the DNA test which might take much longer period, the source said.

Mahazar was conducted at all the places. The articles used for crime were purchased from different outlets. There are nearly four to five shops. They conspired in different areas and later executed their plot accordingly. After the execution, the evidences were also disposed of at three to four places. The ashes were disposed of in Palli river. The source added that the conviction highly depends on DNA test.

Bengaluru, Mar 8: The economic slowdown in the country had a cascading effect on Karnataka, as its growth rate for outgoing fiscal 2019-20 is projected to be 6.8 per cent against 7.8 per cent in the last fiscal (2018-19), a senior official said on Saturday.

"The Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) is estimated to be 1 per cent less at 6.8 per cent for this fiscal from 7.8 per cent in the last fiscal due to slowdown in manufacturing (industry) and services sectors," an official of the state finance department told media.

Though the agriculture sector has revived from 1.6 per dent in the drought-hit last fiscal (2018-19) to register 3.9 per cent this fiscal, growth rates of industries and services will be 4.8 per cent and 7.9 per cent for 2019-20 against 5.6 per cent and 9.8 per cent respectively in 2018-19.

"The GSDP is projected to grow at 6.3 per cent in the ensuing fiscal of 2020-21 due to continued slowdown in the national economy," the official hinted.

According to the state's economic survey for 2019-20, the farm sector grew more than double to 3.9 per cent from 1.6 per cent a year ago due to increase in the production of foodgrains, dairy products and fish catch.

Foodgrain production across the state rose to 136 lakh tonnes from 128 lakh tonnes a year ago, the survey revealed.

"In line with the national Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth rate decline, Karnataka's GSDP has declined from a high of 13.3 per cent in 2016-17 to a low of 6.8 per cent in 2019-20.

"The GSDP has declined from a double-digit growth of 10.8 per cent in 2017-18 to 7.8 per cent in 2018-19 and 6.8 per cent in 2019-20," the survey pointed out.

The survey has adopted the all-India growth rate for the services sector growth in the state, which reflects the impact of slowdown in the key sector.

At current prices, the southern state's GSDP is expected to be Rs 16,99,115 crore (budget estimates) with a 10 per cent growth rate in the next fiscal (2020-21).

"Real estate, professional services and ownership of dwellings contributed 35.31 per cent to the GSDP in 2019-20, followed by manufacturing with 15.32 per cent, trade and repair services 9.51 per cent and crops 7.44 per cent," said the survey findings.

Per capital income in the state at current prices is estimated to be Rs 2,31,246 in 2019-20, an increase of 8.8 per cent from Rs 2,12,477 in 2018-19.

"The per capita income in the state is 58.4 per cent more than that of all-India rate at Rs 1,35,050 in this fiscal," the survey added.
