Sources say that  Shenoy  is presently being interrogated at an undisclosed location in Mangaluru after he was brought to the city. The Police Department has not yet confirmed the news of Shenoy’s arrest. There is also no information as to when Shenoy was arrested.

It may be recalled here that Shenoy  was at large ever since his name figured as the prime suspect  in the case, a few days after Vinayak Baliga was brutally hacked to death on the morning of March 21.

Police have already filed preliminary charge sheet in the case and have named Shenoy as the prime accused and along with six others.
