Udupi, Aug 6: The police have recovered the ashes of the burnt body of businessman Bhaskar Shetty, who had been missing under suspicious circumstances since July 28 after he left his home in Udupi.
The victim's wife Rajeshwari and body-builder son Navneeth Shetty, who were taken into custody for interrogation, have reportedly confessed to the brutal murder.
Proprietor of Udupi's Hotel Durga International, 52-year-old Bhaskar Shetty was running a business in Saudi Arabia and often used to visit the kingdom. He had handed over the responsibility of managing hotel in Udupi to his wife Rajeshwari.
It is learnt that a quarrel had erupted between the husband and wife over the financial misappropriation by the latter and she had also slapped him in the hotel a month ago. According to sources, she was trying to become the owner of the hotel and keep her husband completely away.
Two days after the mysterious disappearance of the businessman his mother had lodged a missing complaint on July 30 with Manipal police station. The complainant had suspected that his wife and son might have kidnapped him. Hence police had taken the duo into custody.
It is learnt that on August 5 Navneeth Shetty confessed that he along with his mother murdered his father with the help of Niranjan Bhat, a priest on August 28, when the victim had visited the home.
Police sources said that the murderers took the dead body to Nandalike village in Karkala and burnt it to ashes. Later, the ashes and the materials used for a precautionary homa' were packed in gunny backs and thrown into a stream by the priest. Police have managed to recover some of such gunny bags, sources said.

Apparently, Navneet is a very ardent follower of Crime Patrol programme on TV. If people can raise fingers at Zakir Naik, and ban him and his teachings, and probe into his involvement in terrorism, then in this case, the channel and producers of Crime Patrol should also be charged with the same. I wonder where Arnab Goswami is hiding now!
What is the use of huge wealth, poor man killed by own people what did people involved achieved. We always talk of development education. What is meaning of education and development ? That old golden days we are far better than now where we did not had cc tv camera no proper road no public transport no powerful education institute but WE WERE SAFE ON THOSE GOLDEN OLD DAYS.
Hang all three ..shameless and merciless people
Tell the world that Naveen is impressed by Zakir Naik Lecture.

He should have saved his life by staying in Saudi Arabia. India is not safe, people even get killed for having food, for honor, for rupees 15, for nothing, for rights etc.
Father rest in peace...
Someone make mother + Son piece piece...
Bastards.
need to give proper treatment to son and the mother , put inside the jail forever or hang them in public ...
from this incident all need to learn the lesson that even with wife we should not share all the details and income of our business .
Bhasker Shetty, an innocent face. The son built his body from his father's hard earned money.
Every father has to think twice doing any business with their own wife and sons ... Kaala Badalaagide.
Lost a nice husband, a nice father .. now stay in jail without husband, without father mother ... for long years.....
for what ???? for money??? ... thoo nim janma haalaga...
What a son!
What a wife!
What a priest!
What a society!
RIP brother Bhasker. You are gem. they dont deserve you.
