Karnataka's Hidden Secrets: Mass Burial Allegations in Dharmasthala

Karnataka BJP President B Y Vijayendra has called for a transparent investigation by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) into allegations of mass burials in Dharmasthala, Dakshina Kannada. These allegations arise from a former sanitation worker who reported being forced to bury bodies, some showing signs of sexual assault.

Karnataka BJP President B Y Vijayendra emphasized the need for transparency in the Special Investigation Team's probe into Dharmasthala's mass burial allegations. He urged the state government to ensure a fair investigation.

The SIT, led by Director General of Police Pronab Mohanty, includes top officers and aims to uncover the truth behind claims of mass murder, rape, and secret burials over two decades.

A sanitation worker accused of handling these burials provided a statement before a magistrate, raising serious concerns about systemic abuse and unsolved crimes in the region.
