Vishwesha Tirtha Swami of Paryaya Pejawar Mutt, who was discharged from the Kasturba Hospital here on Friday two days after he undergone a surgical procedure for hernia, is back in Sri Krishna Mutt.

The 86-year-old seer who arrived on the mutt premises in a vehicle was later shifted to a wheelchair and then taken in a lift located at the Anna Brahma dining hall complex and from there to his room at the Badagu Malige, the administrative office complex of Sri Krishna Mutt/Temple.

Speaking to mediapersons, the seer said that normally doctors advised three months rest after such a surgical procedure. However, the doctors at the Kasturba Hospital had told him not to climb steps, not to walk too much and not to lift heavy things. But they had permitted him to participate in some daily activities, he said.

The seer praised the doctors of the hospital for the way in which they had given him medical treatment and also for the care given to him during his two-day stay there.

Raghuram Acharya, Dewan of Pejawar Mutt, told The Hindu that the doctors had allowed the seer to do his daily duties and participate in the programmes as the latter could not do without it. “He feels uneasy and unhealthy, if he does not do his daily duties,” he said.

Though the seer arrived at the temple around 3.30 p.m., he performed the Chamara Seve at the mantapa near the sanctum sanctorum at 7 p.m., he said.

According to Mr. Acharya, a total of 14 pujas are offered to Lord Krishna daily at the temple. The Paryaya seer has to perform the three important pujas — Jagara Puje at 5.30 a.m., Mahapuje at 9 a.m. and the Chamara Seve at 7 p.m.

Meanwhile, Vishwesha Tirtha read newspapers and other books at his room at the Badagu Malige, while also taking rest.

Bengaluru, Apr 28: A CRPF jawan has been arrested in Karnataka for allegedly defying the COVID-19 lockdown norms with the paramilitary force taking strong exception to his 'ill treatment', following which an inquiry has been ordered by the state police.

State DGP Praveen Sood has ordered inquiry into the incident, which has triggered a row after a video of it went viral.

In the clip, some police constables are purportedly seen hitting CRPF soldier Sachin Sawant with sticks in Belagavi.

According to the information shared on social media, Sawant was washing his bike when a police team reached the spot and started beating him up for not wearing a mask during the lockdown.

Taking a serious view of the 'ill-treatment' meted out to its Cobra Commando, the CRPF has written a letter to the Karnataka police demanding an investigation into the matter.

In a letter to the DGP of Karnataka, the additional Director general of police of CRPF Sanjay Arora said Sawant was cleaning his bike when a skirmish happened between him and the police over not wearing the mask.

Arora wrote, "Sawant was manhandled and ill-treated, before his family members and paraded to the police station barefoot, where he was kept in chains and handcuff.

From the scrutiny of a viral video on social media, it is apparent that the conduct of police personnel was not citizen centric."

The CRPF ADGP also said the 'unpleasant' situation could have been avoided if the Karnataka police had taken CRPF hierarchy into confidence before making the arrest.

In response, Sood ordered an inquiry into the matter.

He tweeted that IGP Belagavi has been asked to conduct a probe into the incident involving CRPF constable. Action will be taken against guilty after receipt of report, he said.

According to sources, Home Minister Basavaraj Bommai has directed the state police chief to conduct a detailed inquiry into the incident.

Denouncing the arrest, Karnataka Irrigation Minister Ramesh Jarkiholi has sought the release of the CRPF jawan.

"It was wrong on the part of the constables to ill treat CRPF jawan and an inquiry be conducted against the erring policemen," said jarkiholi in a press release.

However, Superintendent of Police of Belagavi district, Laxman Nimbargi defended the arrest of Sawant.
