Udupi, Jul 24: The Pejawar Mutt chief pontiff Vishwesha Teertha Swami, who landed in controversy following the release of an audio tape casting aspersions on his ‘character’, has said that he would quit the Mutt if charges against him are proven.

“I am ready to face any investigation or test. If any aspersion on my character is proved, I will immediately abdicate my position as seer of Pejawar Mutt,” he said in a release. “I have not desired any money from the Shiroor seer nor did I ask it from him,” he added.

The Pejawar seer said that after the death of Shiroor seer, some had questioned as to why he had spoken about the Shiroor seer’s alleged wrongdoings, not returning the presiding deities of Shiroor Mutt and his absence during the performance of last rites of the Shiroor seer. “I had no other alternative but to reply to these issues as the media was after him,” he said.

The Pejawar seer further clarified that he had no role in the abdication (“peetha tyaga”) of Raghuvallabha Tirtha, the former seer of Palimar Mutt, Manojnya Tirtha, the former seer of Shiroor Mutt, or Vidyabhushana, the former seer of Subrahmanya Mutt. On the contrary, he had tried to convince them to continue as heads of their respective mutts.

Meanwhile, the police have intensified their probe into the death of Lakshmivara Tirtha Swami. According to sources, the police collected some items from the Shiroor Mutt. The police are also questioning some persons in this regard, sources said.

Karnataka BJP leader Yogish Gowda killed due To 'political reasons': CBI

New Delhi: BJP leader Yogish Gowda, who was a member of the Dharwad Zilla Panchayath in Karnataka, was killed because of "political reasons", the CBI has alleged in its charge sheet filed against eight accused before a Dharwad court, officials said on Thursday.

Mr Gowda was killed on June 15, 2016 in front of a gym in Dharwad.

The charge sheet was filed before the Judicial Magistrate First Class Court in Dharwad against Santosh Savadatti, Dinesh M, Sunil KS, Harshith, Aswath S, Nazeer Ahamad, Shanawaz and Nutan K. All but one are in judicial custody.

"The accused allegedly came to Dharwad on two occasions in June 2016 and with the support of the other accused, allegedly planned the murder of Yogish Gowda. These accused fled after the crime," CBI spokesperson RK Gaur said.

The agency has alleged that the killing had "political reasons" behind it and was a result of political rivalry, the officials said.

The agency had taken over the case on September 24, 2019, nearly three years after the murder, on the request of the BJP government in Karnataka and a referral from the centre.

The case was earlier probed by the Karnataka Police which had charged six people for allegedly planning and executing the killing.

The CBI has arrested eight accused in the case of which seven are in judicial custody, they said.

"Further investigation into the role of the other accused and larger conspiracy in this case is continuing on a day-to-day basis," Mr Gaur said.
