Udupi, Aug 23, 2016:  CID  DIG Sonia Narang  has on August 22  visited  Nandalike and inspected the residence of  Niranjan Bhat, the accused priest in the businessman Bhasker Shetty murder case  as the accused had revealed that Shetty’s body was burnt in the Homa Kunda  of his house.  Narang also visited the Durga International Hotel owned by Shetty along with her team.

It is believed that the CID DIG has herself taken initiative in the probe as the probe so far led by CID  SP DC Rajappa has failed to make any headway.

Sources revealed that the CID team was trying to find if any contract killers were engaged to eliminate the businessman. However, CID sources have not divulged any detail.

 In another development, the  Athithi Bar and Restaurant at Durga International Hotel has been locked as its licence has expired.

The bar was being operated by a third person.  Liquor worth over Rs 2.5 lakh has been reportedly seized from the  Bar.
