Mangaluru, Sep 15: In an unexpected development, the Karnataka high court on Thursday granted conditional bail to NaMo Brigade leader Naresh Shenoy, the prime accused in Mangaluru-based RTI activist Vinayaka P Baliga murder case.
39-year-old NaMo Naresh', who is a prominent businessman in Mangaluru, was formally arrested by the Mangaluru CCB on June 26 more than three months after 52-year-old Baliga was hacked to death in the heart of the coastal city on March 21.
On Thursday, allowing the bail petition filed by NaMo Naresh, Justice B Sreenivase Gowda directed the petitioner to furnish a personal bond for Rs 2 lakh with two local sureties to the satisfaction of the local court.
The court asked him to surrender his passport as well as visa and also not to contact authorities at Venkataramana temple or visit the same.
The petitioner has been further asked not to leave the jurisdiction of the local court without prior permission and also mark attendance before the concerned police station every Sunday and also co-operate in the investigation of the case.
NaMo Naresh, who was originally arrayed as A7 in the case as he was absconding for almost three months, has been made A1 in the charge-sheet filed before the local court.
The family members of Baliga have expressed shock over the development. An electrical contractor by profession, Baliga, through RTI had unearthed many controversial information related to electricity theft and unauthorized constructions in Mangaluru city. He had also raised the issue about alleged irregularities in the affairs of the famous Venkataramana temple in Mangaluru. More details are awaited.

Satyameva Jayate! truth prevails at the end always!
Congrats Naresh Bhai. I knew justice will prevail one day.
There is no proof for Naresh bhai's involvement in this murder case. Mangalore police has found out the fact about the involvment of a person called Abdul Kareem in this murder case. he should be arrested immediately. But this pro-Muslim and anti-nationalist Congress govt is pressurising police to save him and fix innocent hindus. Wait for two more years. BJP will bounce back and rule karnataka. It will be a kedugaala for anti nationals.
Only a person (1) like viren can call the murderer as a nationalist.... bcos they are all offspring of Godse...
I wonder whether Indian courts following Bangladesh model?
Real terrorists getting bail.
Innocents are inside the jail.
Ye hai acche din...
What the F.. I never ever expected this.
This is really shocking. How can the prime accused in such a cold blooded murder get bail in three months? He is not only murderer. He misled police, destroyed evidence... I though court will pronounce death penalty within a year. This development is a black spot on Indian judiciary.
Bala maga bala.. The curse of the parents and family members of Vinayk Baliga is more than enough to destroy you.
Allahu Akbar! This is wonderful news. I will have two pegs extra tonight. Now puku puku started among one particular community members who get terrorised while seeing a true nationalist. Welcome back Naresh Bhai... entire nation is with you. Let’s together make this nation great.
