August 9, 2016

Bhat had swallowed the ring and studs in Bengaluru on August 7, Additional Superintendent of Police Vishnuvardhan N siad. He was arrested at Nitte in Karkala, Udupi district, a day later but didn't show any signs of ill health.

Around 11 pm, he complained of severe stomach pain. Police rushed him to hospital but he tried to avoid undergoing scan.

Investigation Officer S V Girish made him undergo the scan to locate the ornaments in the stomach and intestine. He was fed natural laxatives such as bananas and raw vegetables.

The ornaments may take some time to come out of the body through the bowels. Doctors are checking his stools (faeces).

As of now, Bhat is out of danger as the ring he had swallowed was a whole one. The ring or studs were not powdered. But doctors fear harm to his intestines from the sharp edges of the ear studs.

Bhaskar Shetty, a prominent businessman from Udupi, who owned a chain of supermarkets in Saudi Arabia, had gone missing on July 28 and was found murdered later.

Police have arrested his wife Rajeshwari B Shetty, son Navneeth Shetty and Bhat for the murder. They suspect Rajeshwari was having an affair with Bhat and misappropriating Shetty's money.

Shetty had also threatened to divorce Rajeshwari and disown her as well as Navneeth.

Mom-son in custody

Rajeshwari and son Navneeth Shetty were on Monday remanded in police custody for five days. Manipal police had sought nine days of custody when they were produced before Additional Civil Judge (Senior Division) Rajesh Karnan of Udupi court.

Sources said that apart from Rajeshwari, Navneeth and astrologer Niranjan Bhat, some others could have been involved in the murder, said sources.

News Network

February 23,2020

Bengaluru, Feb 23: Union Minister of Chemicals and Fertilizers DV Sadananda Gowda on Sunday said that several "anti-national organisations" were misusing the platform of anti-CAA protests.

"We have taken serious note of it and have started an investigation. Several anti-national organisations are misusing the platform of anti-CAA protests and many people are trying to take political advantage of this situation," he told the media on Sunday.

Gowda said that the government is "very serious" about the issue. "We are already working towards this. Both the state and Centre are together investigating into this," he said and added, "We will ensure that we cut this and will not allow this to grow. We will investigate the organisers of the event as well."

"If you are inviting such people (alleged anti-national elements), it means that you either know about it or that you are indirectly encouraging such things. In such situations, the organisers too will be acted upon," he stressed.

Mangaluru, May 19: Team Be Human, a city based group of philanthropists, has taken commendable initiative to satiate the hunger of the civic workers of Mangaluru City Corporation that are endangering their lives to keep the city clean amidst covid-19 lockdown.

The Team swung into action on hearing the civic workers' plight due to the delay in payment of their wages by the Antony Waste Management firm. The Team was helped by the alumni of the St Aloysius College, Mangaluru (batch 1989).

This is not the first time the Team Be Human distributing kits among the needy. Amidst lockdown it has already distributed around 1200 grocery kits among the poor people including the daily wage workers, migrant labourers in Dakshina Kannada district with help of Ahnaf Deals, Altaf, Shameem, Basha, Pradeep, Vincent, Shiyaz Deals, Nawaz and Haneef.
