They also alleged that some Kerala-based organizations and criminals are disrupting peace in Bantwal.

BJP district president Sanjeeva Matandoor said that the state government is inept at controlling law and order and hence it has imposed Section 144 in Bantwal for the last 45 days and rest of the four taluks from the past three weeks.

Satyajit's wife Savitha Suratkal alleged that around 50 police barged into her house at 2am on Monday in search of her husband and that too without a woman police, which is against the law.

VHP leader Jagadessha Shenava wanted a branch of NIA to be opened in DK to thwart the advances of communal forces based in Kerala in the district.

Do not end your life if you are depressed. Read Quran in your language and understand the creator. If you cant then just talk to Muslim scholar in nearby Masjid. Hope that will give you permanent relief. In Sha Allah. I request all Muslim brothers and sisters to take care of your neighbors and friends specifically non-muslims.

Udupi, Jun 24: Nearly four years after he was arrested in the murder case of NRI entrepreneur Bhaskar Shetty, the District Sessions court has granted conditional interim bail to Niranjan Bhat, one of the three prime accused in the case.

The development comes two days after the death of Niranjan’s father Srinivas Bhat(65). Though Srinivas and his driver Raghavendra were also arrested in the case on the accusation of destruction of evidence, they were released within a month.

Through his lawyer Niranjan had appealed to the court seeking bail to perform his father’s post-death rituals. 

After hearing the arguments, the court granted conditional interim bail till July 7 on furnishing a bond of Rs 5 lakh. The judge directed the accused to report to the court on or before July 7 to be taken into judicial custody.

Bhaskar Shetty, who owned a chain of supermarkets in Saudi Arabia, went missing from his house in Udupi on 28 July 2016. His mother Gulabi Shetty lodged a missing person complaint on July 29. The police arrested his wife Rajeshwari, her son Navaneeth and astrologer Niranjan Bhat on the charge of murdering Bhaskar Shetty and destroying the evidence, in Udupi on August 7, 2016. Rajeshwari is already out on bail. Navneet is still in prison.

Shetty was murdered at his house in Indrali and later his body was taken to Belman. It is alleged Niranjan Bhat had put the body of deceased Bhaskar Shetty in the pit used for Homa rituals and burnt it.
