Udupi, Oct 15: Even as investigation by the criminal investigation department (CID) is continuing relating to the murder of NRI businessman, K Bhaskar Shetty, his relatives are fighting it out between themselves over the property left behind by him. The CID is yet to file charge sheet in this case.

It is gathered that advocate for Rajeshwari Shetty has secured injunction order from the court against interference of third party in business dealings. Rajeshwari, currently lodged in jail, has issued general power of attorney in favour of her mother, Sumathi Raghuram Shetty.

While mother of Bhgaskar Shetty, Gulabi, says that her son had executed a will in her favour, Rajeshwari and her supporters have staked claim on the property on the basis of her being a business partner. Rajeshwari has been claiming that being a partner and as also there is business loan to be repaid, and also in view of the injunction order of the court in her favour, she is entitled to run the business.

Sources close to Gulabi Shetty say that Bhaskar was murdered by his own close relatives after they came to know that he had executed a will in favour of his mother. Chidanand, advocate for Rajeshwari, who has been representing her in civil matters, has objected to the fact that third persons had interfered in the matter of running the business in spite of the injunction order issued by the court against doing so.
