Mangaluru: In a significant move to maintain law and order, Mahesh Shetty Timarodi, a local resident with 32 criminal cases, has been deported from Dakshina Kannada district to Manvi taluk in Raichur district for a period of one year. The order was issued by Stella Varghese, Assistant Commissioner of Puttur subdivision, to ensure public peace and stability in the region.
Background and criminal record
Officials stated that Timarodi had been involved in multiple unlawful activities, creating unrest and participating in movements that caused instability in society. He is accused of sheltering Chennaiyya, who was implicated in the Dharmasthala ‘Burd’ case, and has allegedly participated in civil disobedience activities that disturbed public peace.
With a total of 32 registered cases, Timarodi’s activities were considered a serious threat to societal harmony. Authorities noted that the deportation was a calculated measure, taking into account his overall criminal history, to prevent further unrest in Dakshina Kannada.
Investigation and related developments
Sources indicated that the Special Investigation Team (SIT) is expected to examine the case related to hundreds of bodies allegedly buried, but officials suggested there is no substantial evidence in that matter. Burude Chinnaiah, another accused, is believed to potentially provide false confessions in court regarding conspiracy claims.
Given these circumstances, the possibility of registering new cases or arresting additional suspects in the conspiracy has diminished. The deportation of Timarodi is seen as a preventive step to mitigate any further law and order challenges in the region.
Measures for maintaining public peace
Authorities emphasised that the deportation is a temporary measure aimed at creating a stable and peaceful environment in Dakshina Kannada. By relocating Timarodi, the administration hopes to curb unrest and allow law enforcement to monitor the situation more effectively.
The decision also serves as a warning to others engaged in peace-breaking activities, highlighting that authorities are prepared to take strict actions to maintain social order.
Conclusion
Mahesh Shetty Timarodi’s deportation underscores the commitment of local authorities in ensuring public safety and maintaining peace in sensitive regions. With his removal from Dakshina Kannada for one year, officials aim to prevent recurrence of unlawful activities and reinforce the rule of law in the district.
