Mangaluru, Jul 28: Anuradha Baliga, sister of RTI activist, Vinayak Panduranga Baliga, who was murdered, has approached the state High Court, seeking cancellation of bail granted to Naresh Shenoy, who has been accused in the case and who is out on bail.

Sometime back, an application had been made to Dakshina Kannada district chief and sessions court seeking cancellation of bail as above. As this court dismissed the petition, Anuradha has appealed to the High Court. The petition came before a single judge bench of the High Court presided by Justice Srinivas Harish Kumar on Friday July 27.

The bench ordered issuance of notices to Naresh Shenoy and police inspector of Barke station here in the matter. Vinayak Baliga had been killed on March 21, 2016 near his home in the city at Dongarakeri with sharp weapons. Later, the police had arrested accused Naresh Shenoy.

Shenoy had secured conditional bail through the High Court. Anuradha has accused Shenoy of violating bail conditions and therefore sought cancellation of his bail.
