His wife and relatives came from Puttur, Mangalore district, on Saturday, and requested the jail authorities to cremate the body in the jail itself as they did not have the money to take the body to Puttur and perform his last rites.

So due to financial instability, they couldn’t take the body to their native place in Puttur.

Puttur Fast Court convicted Poojari, 45, a native of Uppinangadi of Puttur taluk, Mangalore district to life imprisonment on September 27, 2012, in a murder case. He was serving his sentence since the last seven months in Hindalga Jail.
