Bangalore, October 14: A crucial witness in the murder of film and television actor Hemashree (33) has told the Hebbal police she was already dead before she was brought to his resort in Anantapur last Tuesday.


Murali, the resort owner and friend of the prime suspect, Hemashree’s husband Surendra Babu (52), is learnt to have told the police he became acquainted with Mr. Babu as they belonged to the same community.


Police sources said the caretaker, Mahesh, informed Mr. Murali that Hemashree was carried into the room at the resort. The caretaker said Mr. Babu arrived in his car and sought his help to carry her to the room. With his driver, Satish, also pitching in, the trio carried Hemashree into the room.


Noticing Hemashree’s limp body, Mr. Mahesh informed his employer who, in turn, called Mr. Babu and advised him to take his wife to the hospital, following which the husband and the driver carried her back to the car and drove off.


Attempt to contact

According to sources, Mr. Babu had tried to call Mr. Murali seeking a room in his resort earlier in the day but could not reach him. He later called Krishna, a common friend, who conveyed the message that Mr. Babu wanted to rest for a few hours as he was on his way to Hyderabad. Mr. Murali, in turn, called up the caretaker and arranged the room.

Meanwhile, the Hebbal police took Mr. Babu to the resort for spot investigations and recorded Mr. Murali’s statement. However, the driver, Satish, a key link in the case, is on the run.


Forensic report

The police are also awaiting the forensic report to corroborate various theories, including the motive and the place of the crime.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (North) H.S. Revanna, who is supervising the investigations, refused to give any details.

On Saturday, Hemashree’s sister Roopashree addressed the media to clarify on certain speculations doing the rounds.

Jaipur, Mar 18: Initially buried as per Islamic traditions, an unidentified man's body was exhumed and later cremated after he was found to be a Hindu in Rajasthan's Tonk district, police said.

The family members identified the body of Mahaveer Sahu on Tuesday, a day after the burial, as they stumbled upon photos of the deceased that had circulated on social media.

The man was brought to a government hospital by locals in an unconscious state on March 12 and he died on March 13, according to Purani Tonk police station SHO Shivlal.

The man was said to be a liquor addict and was found unconscious on the road, he added.

The body was kept at the mortuary for three days awaiting identification. Despite efforts to trace the next of kin, the identity could not be ascertained and members of Hindu and Muslim communities were brought in to take a decision, Shivlal said.

The community leaders presumed that he was a Muslim after examining the body and the burial took place as per Islamic funeral traditions on Monday, he added.

Meanwhile, Sahu's family members saw the photo of his body that had circulated on a WhatsAapp group and identified him later that day. They rushed to the hospital and then to the police station in the night where they were informed that the body had been buried.

“The body was exhumed with permission from the sub-divisional magistrate on Tuesday and handed over to the family members after proper identification. Members of the Muslim community led by an Imam were also present and gave in writing that they have no objection,” Shivlal said.

The body was later cremated by his family members.
