The victim's wife Rajeshwari and body-builder son Navneeth Shetty, who were taken into custody for interrogation, have reportedly confessed to the brutal murder.

Proprietor of Udupi's Hotel Durga International, 52-year-old Bhaskar Shetty was running a business in Saudi Arabia and often used to visit the kingdom. He had handed over the responsibility of managing hotel in Udupi to his wife Rajeshwari.

It is learnt that a quarrel had erupted between the husband and wife over the financial misappropriation by the latter and she had also slapped him in the hotel a month ago. According to sources, she was trying to become the owner of the hotel and keep her husband completely away.

Two days after the mysterious disappearance of the businessman his mother had lodged a missing complaint on July 30 with Manipal police station. The complainant had suspected that his wife and son might have kidnapped him. Hence police had taken the duo into custody.

It is learnt that on August 5 Navneeth Shetty confessed that he along with his mother murdered his father with the help of Niranjan Bhat, a priest on August 28, when the victim had visited the home.

Police sources said that the murderers took the dead body to Nandalike village in Karkala and burnt it to ashes. Later, the ashes and the materials used for a precautionary homa' were packed in gunny backs and thrown into a stream by the priest. Police have managed to recover some of such gunny bags, sources said.

Apparently, Navneet is a very ardent follower of Crime Patrol programme on TV. If people can raise fingers at Zakir Naik, and ban him and his teachings, and probe into his involvement in terrorism, then in this case, the channel and producers of Crime Patrol should also be charged with the same. I wonder where Arnab Goswami is hiding now!

He should have saved his life by staying in Saudi Arabia. India is not safe, people even get killed for having food, for honor, for rupees 15, for nothing, for rights etc.

Mangaluru, Apr 7: The long-standing demand for a separate Beary Development Corporation has hit a wall — the Karnataka government has officially stated that no such proposal is currently under consideration.

Beary-speaking people, mainly settled across Dakshina Kannada, Udupi, and parts of Kodagu, have been urging the government to set up a dedicated body for the welfare of their community and the promotion of their unique 1,200-year-old language. But during the recent legislative session, Minority Affairs Minister B.Z. Zameer Ahmed Khan confirmed that his department has not received any proposal on this matter.

The clarification came in response to a question by MLC Ivan D’Souza, who highlighted the community’s cultural richness and a population of over 25 lakh. “The community has raised this demand several times to support education and social upliftment, but the government hasn’t taken any concrete steps,” he said.

In his reply, the minister pointed out that the Karnataka Minorities Development Corporation (KMDC) already runs various welfare schemes for Muslim, Christian, Jain, Buddhist, Sikh, and Parsi communities. Since Beary speakers are considered part of the Muslim community, they are eligible for benefits under these existing programs, he added.

Still, many in the Beary community feel that without a separate development body, their identity, language, and specific needs risk being overlooked.

Mangaluru, Apr 7: In a chilling and heart-wrenching turn of events from Nadugallu in Nalakuru village of Sullia taluk in Dakshina Kannada, a mother and son’s desperate act to end their lives has left a community in disbelief. The duo allegedly consumed rodent poison in a joint suicide attempt, resulting in the son’s death and leaving the mother in a critical condition.

The deceased has been identified as 32-year-old Nithin, son of Kushalappa Gowda of Derappajjanamane, Nalakuru. His mother, Sulochana, is currently battling for her life in a hospital. According to sources, the incident took place three days ago, with both victims falling severely ill by the morning of April 6.

Nithin, an ITI diploma holder, had been managing his family's agricultural land. He had married Deeksha, a guest lecturer at a local college, about a year ago. At the time of the tragic incident, Deeksha was reportedly staying at her parental home. During her absence, Nithin and Sulochana allegedly consumed poison in what is believed to be a premeditated act.

Well-known in the village for his kind demeanor and strong social ties, Nithin’s untimely death has cast a shadow of grief and shock across the local community. His father, Kushalappa Gowda, is also said to be ailing.

The Subrahmanya police have registered a case and initiated an investigation to uncover the circumstances leading to this devastating event.
