Yes, we caught him: Mangaluru top cop confirms arrest of NaMo Naresh, finally

June 26, 2016

Mangaluru, Jun 26: Mangaluru City Police Commissioner M Chandra Sekhar has finally confirmed the arrest of NaMo Brigade leader Naresh Shenoy in connection with the coldblooded murder of Mangaluru based RTI activist Vinayak Baliga.

nareshshenoy Even though rumours over the arrest of Naresh Shenoy have been doing rounds for last couple of days, the top cop said that the former was nabbed only on Sunday (June 26).

Acting on credible information, sleuths of Mangaluru CCB headed by Inspector Valentine D'Souza arrested the 39-year-old absconding murder accused at Hejamadi in Udupi district, Mr Chandra Sekhar told media persons in his office.

The top cop said that Naresh was evading Jammu and Kashmir, Gorakhpur, Lucknow and places bordering Nepal in the last three months.

Mr. Chandra Sekhar said that Shenoy's interrogation is expected to throw more light on the murder of Baliga. Baliga had filed a number of applications before the Mangaluru City Corporation and other departments under the Right to Information Act. He had also filed a suit questioning the financial dealings of Sri Venkataramana Temple on Car Street here.

Mr. Chandra Sekhar said that Baliga's activism is among the reasons for the murder. Ruling out the reported involvement of underworld operative Vikki Shetty in the murder, Mr. Chandra Sekhar said that the murder plan was hatched by Shenoy and executed by three of the arrested persons.

Mr. Sekhar commended the work by Deputy Commissioners of Police K.M. Shantaraju and Sanjeev M. Patil; Assistant Commissioner of Police K. Tilakchandra; inspectors Shantaram, Ravish Nayak, Rajesh, Valentine D'Souza and Maruti Nayak' police sub-inspectors Shyam and police constable Rajendra. These personnel would be rewarded after the submission of the supplementary charge sheet.

The development comes four days after the police filed a preliminary charge sheet in Vinayak Baliga murder case before the III Judicial Magistrate First, listing Naresh as Accused No. 1.

All the remaining six accused have already been arrested by the police and one of them is out on bail.

Naresh, son of M Namadev Shenoy, is the founder of Mangaluru unit of Namo Brigdae, later renamed as Yuva Brigade. Hence, he is popularly known as NaMo Naresh. Naresh was also running an Ayurveda medicine supplying firm at V T Road in Mangaluru.

52-year-old Baliga was brutally murdered near his house at Kodialbail in the city in the wee hours on March 21.

The police first arrested Vineet Poojary, Nishit Devadiga and Shiva alias Shivaprasad, who allegedly murdered Baliga.

Later police arrested photographer K. Manjunath Shenoy alias Manju Neereshwalya for allegedly helping Naresh in evading arrest. On June 18, police arrested Srikant, a close associate of Naresh, who was accused of hiring services of the three assailants.

The alleged inability of the Mangaluru police to nab the prime accused had led to severe discontent in Mangaluru as well as the State. Several protests were held by activists led by rationalist Narendra Nayak and also by family members of Vinayak Baliga demanding arrest of Naresh. They had accused elected representatives of being silent over the inordinate delay in arresting Naresh.

Mangaluru, May 8: After continuous pressure on Union government from Karnataka NRI Forum- UAE, the first special flight carrying 180 Kannadigas who stranded at UAE due to Covid-19 pandemic will fly from Dubai to Mangaluru on May 14.

The special flight will take off from Dubai at 4.10 p.m. UAE time to reach Mangaluru at 9.10 pm IST on May 14. Earlier it was reported that the flight will operate on May 12. However, sources of Mangaluru International Airport and Air India today confirmed that first flight will be on May 14.

The state government has directed Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts authority to quarantine all passengers once they reach.

All Kannadigas will be given permission to travel back home only after they test negative in Covid test at Dubai airport.

In fact, Karnataka was missing in the list of states to receive special flights when Ministry of External Affairs arranged them to bring stranded Indians at UAE. Special flights were arranged only to Kerala and Tamil Nadu people stranded at UAE in the first stage.

Thanks to Karnataka NRI Forum of UAE which opened helpline (https://uaekannadahelpline.club) to seek assistance to Kannadigas, nearly 2000 Kannadigas have registered for assistance in which 127 pregnant women, 27 senior citizens, 700 people who have lost jobs aftermath of coronavirus sought assistance from NRI forum.

After providing food and shelter to Kannadigas who lost jobs at UAE since March 2020, NRI forum put pressure on both state and Centre to arrange special flights to send them to home.

The NRI Forum has approached Indian Consulate at UAE and chief minister BS Yediyurappa to evacuate Kannadigas, but got no response. Following this, Karnataka NRI Forum President Praveen Shetty approached Union Minister for Chemicals and Fertilizers DV Sadananda Gowda for help. Gowda immediately responded the call and he spoke to MEE to arrange special flight for Kannadigas as well.

Indian government has promised to arrange special flight to Mangaluru or Bengaluru by next week to bring Kannadigas.

Comparing to other Indian States, Karnataka has the highest number of its people working in UAE. Around 1.25 lakhs Kannadigas are working in UAE in which majority are working classes. Due to Covid-19 pandemic thousands of workers have lost jobs, Mr. Shetty explained.

"Indian government had arranged special flights from US, UK, Singapur and other countries to bring back Indians, but excluded UAE in the list. Actually, lakhs of Indians are working in UAE as labourers and in odd jobs, the government should have given first priority to bring labourers rather rich one", he opined.

"BJP has 27 MPs from Karnataka. We continuously requested all BJP MPs and state government but none of them came to our help. Thanks to Mr Gowda for his timely intervention to bring stranded Kannadigas", Mr Shetty said.
