Udupi, Aug 11: Rajeshwari Shetty, prime accused in the murder of her husband and NRI husband Bhaskar Shetty, on Thursday withdrew her plea seeking bail after the Supreme Court indicated to her counsel that it cannot consider her appeal at present as the police wanted to carry out additional investigation in the case.

When Rajeshwari's petition seeking release on bail came up for hearing before a Bench of Justice S A Bobde and Justice L. Nageswara Rao, counsel for the State said that additional investigation will be carried out in the case.

When the Bench indicated that it cannot consider the plea for bail at this stage, her counsel sought court’s permission to withdraw the petition with the liberty to renew the prayer for bail after six months or after additional investigation is over, whichever is earlier.

Following this submission, the court treated the petition as “dismissed as withdrawn” while granting liberty to her to approach the court again as sought for.

Bhaskar Shetty, who owned big businesses in Saudi Arabia and Udupi, went missing from his house here on July 28, 2016. The charge sheet has alleged that Rajeshwari Shetty had killed her husband.

Udupi: Deputy Commissioner K. Vidya Kumari has directed officials to expedite land acquisition for designated industrial zones in the district to facilitate new industries. She issued these instructions during a meeting at Rajatadri on Wednesday.

Lands have been identified across various taluks for industrial development. The DC emphasized that KIADB must acquire these lands and ensure essential infrastructure—electricity, roads, and drainage—to attract industries and generate employment.

A total of 77 acres of private land has been acquired and compensated, including 31.2 acres in Kerebettu village, Hebri taluk, and 45.7 acres in Shivapura village. However, approval for 36.5 acres of government land is still pending. She instructed the forest department to assess whether this land falls under an eco-sensitive zone.

For the Belapu Industrial Area, the DC urged officials to accelerate minor land acquisitions for road expansion and commence construction at the earliest. She also mandated rainwater harvesting systems for all units in the Miyaru Industrial Area to tackle water scarcity.

Currently, 22 export-based units operate in the district. The DC encouraged further promotion of exports and an increase in their number.

The meeting was attended by Joint Director of Industries Nagraj V. Naik, KIADB Development Officer Srinivasa Murthy, Small-Scale Industries Association District President Harish Kunder, Deputy Director of the District Industrial Center Seetharam Shetty, District Skill Development Officer Arun B., and others.
