January 3, 2016

Udupi, Jan 3: An important road here will be named after Vishvesha Tirtha Swami, the chief pontiff of Pejawar Mutt, coinciding with the seer’s fifth Paryaya.

The official announcement of the renaming of the road connecting Kalsanka to Vadiraja Road road will be made during the civic reception for the seer by the Udupi City Municipal Council (CMC) at Car Street at 7 p.m. on Monday.

The ‘Horekanike’ procession, where devotees donate foodgrains, pulses, coconuts and vegetables for the Paryaya festival, will be held from January 5 to 16. This time, devotees from north Karnataka also will be offering ‘Horekanike’ on January 13. The donations will be brought to a mega-store and a separate store is being set up to store coconuts.

Behind this store, the Adhokshaja Mantapa, which will host cultural programmes, is being constructed.

Next to the Adhokshaja Mantapa, the construction of a big kitchen is underway. On the Paryaya festival day (January 18) nearly 1 lakh people are expected to have lunch. Besides this, 35 commercial stalls are being constructed near the Adhokshaja Mantapa. The construction of the Ananda Tirtha Mantapa, the main venue, where the ‘Paryaya Durbar’ function would be held is also going on in full swing.

Mangaluru Commissioner of Police Sudheer Kumar Reddy C H identified the arrested as Abhishek M, a resident of Katipalla in Mangaluru.

A case has been registered at the Bajpe Police Station under Sections 353(1)(c), 353(2), 56, and 57 read with Section 189 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) in connection with the post.

According to police, the accused uploaded a photograph of a hotel on the Instagram page and alleged that accused persons in a murder case under the Bajpe police jurisdiction were being given “royal treatment” by the police, including being served beef meals daily from the hotel.

The post further accused the police of supporting criminals, misusing their authority, and betraying public trust. Police said the content was provocative in nature and aimed at inciting public outrage against the police.

Following the post, a case was registered at the Bajpe police station, and further investigation was transferred to the CEN police station.

Police records indicate that the accused has a criminal history, with multiple cases registered against him, including murder, attempt to murder, assault, and robbery at the Surathkal Police Station, and one case at the Kaup Police Station.
