Three held for 'framing' seer

They have also taken into custody a computer, mobile and CDs. Balachandra Kodlekar, Shivaram Adi and Gajanana Upadhya were arrested on a complaint from the Mutt managers. Whether three men had any material pertaining to the Mutt seer would be known only after examining all the files on the hard disk of the computer, Kumta Circle Inspector of Police P A Suraj has said.

However, the convenor of the “Save Gokarna” struggle committee, Raju Adi and others have on Thursday complained to the Karwar SP that police had arrested  the members of the committee on false charges and were harassing them.
