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.

nareshshenoyEven 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.

Kuwait: The Covid-19 pandemic has pushed the whole world into a difficult situation and the situation of Indians in Kuwait is not any different. Many people have lost their jobs, have no salary, are deprived of food and are not able to pay rent. The appalling conditions of labourers, domestic workers, taxi drivers and low waged earners don’t seem to end in Kuwait. 

At this trying situation when many people were even afraid of leaving their houses because of coronavirus, Suresh S. Rao Neramballi, volunteer of the Food Kit Distribution at the ICSG (Indian Community Support Group) has helped many tremendously. He was ready to go around delivering food kits at any time possible by his car. However, after Kuwait imposed a full curfew from 11th May 2020, no one could take out their vehicles unless they had a curfew pass. 

This did not stop Mr. Suresh Neramballi, who then borrowed a bicycle from a friend and ended up going around in the cycle delivering the food kits in curfew break time (4:30pm to 6:30pm) to all those who registered in the ICSG website. This selfless service surely commands appreciation and applause. Mr. Suresh Neramballi has been a light for many families and bachelors in Kuwait and will surely garner the blessings of them who have been able to eat at this time.

He was also the one who could deliver the food kits to many Indian Muslim maids, bachelors, laborers and families previous day and right on the day of EID, as they were not able to go shopping for their groceries for EID, due to the curfew. They blessed him in EID dua. 

Mr. Suresh Neramballi hails from Mangaluru, India and is an Engineer in the Oil sector company in Kuwait. He has been dedicated to social service, achieved 'Aryabhata International Award' for his Kannada Service and Social service, served in many Associations and Distributor of Kannada and Tulu Movies in Kuwait. He wholeheartedly thanks the people and government of Kuwait for his bread and butter.
