Udupi, Nov 5: The trio accused of murdering hotelier and NRI businessman Bhaskar Shetty, 52, googled topics like, 'How to kill a man and destroy evidence?' and 'Easiest ways of killing humans and not getting caught', before committing the crime, Criminal Investigation Department (CID) sources said.bhaskershetty

The CID on Thursday submitted a 1,300-page chargesheet to a Udupi court, accusing Shetty's wife Rajeshwari, 50, son Navaneet, 20, and family astrologer Niranjan Bhat, 26, of killing and burning him on July 28. The chargesheet also names Niranjan's father Srinivas Bhat, 56, and Shettys' driver Raghavendra P, 26, as the trio's accomplices.

"We have seized the computer and hard disk used by Navaneet at his Udupi home and have sent it to FSL for examination. Navaneet, Rajeshwari and Niranjan read several articles online related to murders, destruction of evidence, quickest methods of killing and escaping law," CID sources said, quoting from the chargesheet. The accused also researched topics like 'self-defence instructions'.

"They were prepared for any retaliation from Bhaskar Shetty. After checking on the internet, they decided to use pepper spray on Shetty so that he would be in no position to open his eyes or respond," sources said.

According to investigating officials, the accused surfed the internet for at least a month. "The FSL report on the hard disc will reveal for how long they researched. This proves it was a well-planned and executed murder," a CID official said, adding, "We aren't sure whether they just surfed the internet or downloaded the material and took printouts. The FSL report will clear these doubts," he said.

Shetty, who had many business firms and hotels in Dubai and Dakshina Kannada, was allegedly beaten to death by his wife and son in their Udupi house in July. The duo and and their astrologer friend later burnt the body in a homa kunda using 20 litres of petrol and a bagful of camphor in the latter's residence at Nandalike village, Udupi district. The homa kunda built of hollow bricks was dismantled by Niranjan's father and Raghavendra and thrown into a river along with ashes and Shetty's remains.

Bengaluru, Jul 15: Karnataka Congress Chief D K Shivakumar on Wednesday urged the Ministers in the state to visit Covid-19 designated hospitals and instil confidence among patients, doctors and medical staff there.

Noting that doctors, nurses and others were doing a great job, Shivakumar said the government has to stand with them and instil confidence in them. Speaking to reporters after visiting Victoria hospital, a major dedicated Covid hospital in the city, he said, "All the Ministers have to go to hospitals and instil confidence in the staff, patients.... they have to remove fear and tell them we will have to live with this (virus), and cannot escape from it."

Shivakumar said he believes that by instilling confidence most part of the diseases can be cured. He lauded doctors, paramedical and other staff working at the Hospital for the sake of patients, putting their own life at risk and appreciated facilities provided there.

During the visit, the state Congress President interacted with patients undergoing treatment for Covid-19, also medical staff and doctors. He said at Victoria hospital patients were allowed to use mobile phones, so that they can speak to family members, which has to an extent instilled confidence among them, and the same has to be replicated across the state.

Not wishing to comment on complaints about the quality of facility and PPE kits provided at the hospital, also alleged misappropriation on part of the government in the purchase of equipment for Covid treatment, Shivakumar said, "....let's see that at Vidhana Soudha (seat of state's legislature)." He said, "this is not the time to talk about corruption and other things, this is not the time for it....instilling confidence among patients, doctors and paramedical staff is important now."
