Violent wife and son

Bhaskar Shetty, who owned a chain of supermarkets in Saudi Arabia had come to Udupi on May 6. He had gone missing under mysterious circumstances on July 28 from his home. Later it came to light that he was murdered by his wife and son and destroyed evidence with the help of Niranjan Bhat, who had close relationship with Rajesahwari.

According to Bhaskar Shetty's brother-in-law Joghu Shetty, the police had initially declined to register the case when he and the mother-in-law approached the Manipal police.

He said that a few days before death Bhaskar had met him and complained over the violence against him by wife and son. He had also revealed about the wife's extramarital affair with Niranjan Bhat. In spite of all this, he had returned home on July 27. The police have shown high level of negligence, Joghu Shetty accused, adding that the police registered the case only after the family members forced them to do so.

Do he think he will get away with this... his arrogance made him forget that he will also die one day and will face the CREATOR of all that exits for accountability of the deeds done in this life.

Never think this life is just of joke... A life which is precious than all other creation of God. God forgives every Sin except Associating partners with him. But there is a condition in repentance for our sin. We should regret what we hav done, We should ask forgiveness with God, We should promise never to commit again, We should ask forgiveness with those whom We oppressed.

But the most important is, We should recognise the TRUE GOD. A Stone is not a God, An animal is not a God, Saints are not God, Nature is not a GOD ... ALL these are a CREATION of Almighty GOD .... Try to know Who is GOD and ask FORGIVENESS... HE is so MERCIFUL that people think they will get away with their CRIME infact a Day will come to JUDGE all that had happened in this EARTH>>>

Mangaluru: In a decisive move to tackle the city’s deteriorating sanitation infrastructure, the Mangaluru City Corporation (MCC) has announced a massive ₹1,200 crore action plan to overhaul its underground drainage (UGD) network.

The initiative, spearheaded by Deputy Commissioner and MCC Administrator Darshan HV, aims to bridge "missing links" in the current system that have left residents grappling with overflowing sewage and environmental hazards.

The Breaking Point

The announcement follows a high-intensity phone-in session on Thursday, where the DC was flooded with grievances from frustrated citizens. Residents, including Savithri from Yekkur, described a harrowing reality: raw sewage from apartments leaking into stormwater drains, creating a "permanent stink" and turning residential zones into mosquito breeding grounds.

"We are facing immense difficulties due to the stench and the health risks. Local officials have remained silent until now," one resident reported during the session.

The Strategy: A Six-Year Vision

DC Darshan HV confirmed that the proposed plan is not a temporary patch but a comprehensive six-year roadmap designed to accommodate Mangaluru’s projected population growth. Key highlights of the plan include:

•    Infrastructure Expansion: Laying additional pipelines to connect older neighborhoods to the main grid.

•    STP Crackdown: Stricter enforcement of Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) regulations. While new apartments are required to have functional STPs, many older buildings lack them entirely, and several newer units are reportedly non-functional.

•    Budgetary Push: The plan has already been discussed with the district in-charge minister and the Secretary of the Urban Development Department. It is slated for formal presentation in the upcoming state budget.

Udupi, Dec 15: What was meant to be a post-pilgrimage gathering turned tragic in Padukere village of Brahmavar taluk, Udupi district, late Sunday night, when a clash among youths escalated into a fatal assault, leaving one man dead.

The victim has been identified as 30-year-old Santosh Mogaveera, a resident of Padukere.

According to preliminary information, the incident took place during a late-night drinking party involving a group of local youths who had recently returned after completing their pilgrimage to the Sabarimala shrine. An argument reportedly broke out among the group and soon escalated into a violent confrontation.

During the ensuing brawl, Santosh Mogaveera was allegedly assaulted and collapsed at the spot after sustaining serious injuries. He was rushed by local residents to a private hospital in Brahmavar, where doctors declared him dead.

On receiving information, senior police officials, including Brahmavar Circle Inspector Gopikrishna, Kota Police Sub-Inspector Praveen Kumar T, Station ASI Manthesh Jabagoudar, and head constables Pradeep and Ashok, visited the spot and conducted an inspection.

Police have taken four youths into custody in connection with the incident. A case has been registered at the Kota police station, and further investigation is underway to ascertain the exact sequence of events leading to the death.
