Skeleton, but no skull, found in Dharmasthala 'Mass burials' - that we so far know about Karnataka Sit Sin | Today news

In a major breakthrough in the Dharmasthala cemetery investigation, officials found that skeletal ears were identified in one of the places identified by an important witness. The surplus was found on Thursday, July 31, at a depth of two-three feet at the 6th excavation point near the Nethravathi River. This is one of the 13 places where the whistle -blower, a former sanitation worker, claimed to have buried many bodies between 1995 and 2014. He said many bodies in Dharmasthala were buried in the Dakshina Kannada district Karnataka. This is the first important discovery since the two -day inspection that began on July 29. Although it is unclear which parts of the skeleton were found, sources told the News minutes that the remains belonged to a man. Officials said a further forensic investigation would be needed to determine more specific details. After the discovery of human remains on place 6, the SIT team should not yet make a decision on whether they should excavate on place 7 immediately. On July 29, the special investigative team (Sit) began digging in the places pointed out by a former sanitation worker. What did the whistleblower claim? The whistle -blower, a former sanitation worker in the Dharmasthala Temple, reportedly claims that it has been repeatedly ordered by his superiors to bury several bodies over 20 years. He claims many of these were bodies of women and girls who were apparently sexually assaulted. Earlier, the witness identified 15 places in Dharmasthala where he claimed that bodies were buried. “The first 8 locations are along the banks of the Netravati River, while sites 9 to 12 are located near the highway along the river. The 13th location lies along the road that connects Netravati to Ajukuri, with the last two in the Kanyadi area near the highway,” Mathrubhumi reports. The complainant claimed that between 1995 and 2014 he was mostly forced from women and girls in Dharmasthala to bury more than 100 bodies, Toi reports. Sit -sin begins on July 28, the witness led the seat to the alleged cemetery near the Snana Ghatta, the Badghat at the Nethrathi, flowing near the temple. Officials from the income, forest and other departments accompanied the sitting, while the whistle -blower pointed out each location and described the circumstances in which the bodies were buried. The allegations of mass burials in Dharmasthala only came to light at the end of June, when advocates who represented the whistleblower held a press conference setting out the man’s claims.
