The police had taken Navneeth Shetty and his mother Rajeshwari Shetty to the residence of astrologer Niranjan Bhat in Nandalike where they had performed a homa to destroy the evidence of murder on July 28.

When a few villager elders who were present there asked Navneeth how he burnt his father's body into ashes a small in yagna kunda, he gave a shocking reply in Tulu: “Nana Onji Puna Kanth Korle. Pothad Thojpaave!” (Bring here another dead body. Will burn it and show you).

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>>>

SHRIMP.jpg

Mangaluru, Dec 7: A rare bamboo shrimp has been rediscovered on mainland India more than 70 years after it was last reported, confirming for the first time the presence of Atyopsis spinipes in the country. The find was made by researchers from the Centre for Climate Change Studies at Sathyabama Institute of Science and Technology, Chennai, during surveys in Karnataka and Odisha.

The team — shrimp expert Dr S Prakash, PhD scholar K Kunjulakshmi, and Mangaluru-based researcher Maclean Antony Santos — combined field surveys, ecological assessments and DNA analysis to identify the elusive species. Their findings, published in Zootaxa, resolve decades of taxonomic confusion stemming from a 1951 report that misidentified the species as Atyopsis moluccensis without strong evidence.

The shrimp has now been confirmed at two locations: the Mulki–Pavanje estuary near Mangaluru and the Kuakhai River in Bhubaneswar. Historical specimens from the Andaman Islands, previously labelled as A. moluccensis, were also found to be misidentified and actually belong to A. spinipes.

The rediscovery began after an aquarium hobbyist in Odisha spotted a shrimp in 2022, prompting systematic surveys across Udupi, Karwar and Mangaluru. Four female specimens were collected in Mulki and one in Odisha, all genetically matching.

Researchers warn the species may exist in very small, vulnerable populations as freshwater habitats face increasing pressure from pollution, sand mining and infrastructure development. All verified specimens have been deposited with the Zoological Survey of India for future reference.

Mangaluru police have arrested a 27-year-old NRI on his return from Saudi Arabia in connection with an Instagram post allegedly containing derogatory and provocative remarks about the Hindu religion, officials said on Monday.

The accused, Abdul Khader Nehad, a resident of Ulaibettu in Mangaluru, was working in Saudi Arabia when the post was uploaded, police said.

A suo motu case was registered at the Bajpe police station on October 11 after an allegedly offensive post circulated from the Instagram account ‘team_sdpi_2025’. Police said the content was flagged for being provocative and derogatory in nature.

During the investigation, technical analysis traced the Instagram post to Nehad, who was residing abroad at the time, a senior police officer said. Based on these findings, a Look Out Circular (LOC) was issued against him.

On December 14, Nehad arrived from Saudi Arabia at Calicut International Airport in Kerala, where he was taken into custody on arrival. Police said further investigation is underway.

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.
