Dharmasthala Mass Burial Case Takes Shocking Turn, Whistleblower Arrested For Falsified Evidence

Bangalore (Karnataka) – The Dharmasthala Mass Burial Case has taken a surprising turn after the arrest of the whistleblower who first brought to light the allegations. Karnataka’s Special Investigation Team detained the former sanitation worker on Saturday. He claimed to know of between 70 and 80 bodies that were buried in multiple places around Dharmasthala.
After an overnight session of interrogation that went until 6 am, the whistleblower was arrested. Sources within the police department confirm that this individual was charged with lying and providing false evidence to investigators.
This case shocked both devotees as well as the public when a whistleblower contacted authorities, claiming to know of mass graves at the temple. Investigations have revealed that the complaint’s story was a lie.
The police sources confirmed that the fake skull presented by the whistleblower had been produced. According to the complainant, the skull was dug up by him, who claimed it belonged to one of the victims buried, and he presented it to the police as evidence crucial to his claims. A forensic analysis determined the skull’s authenticity.
SIT has investigated the allegations ever since they were first made. As part of the investigation, the team searched the locations mentioned by the whistleblower.
India Today TV obtained exclusive photos of the masked complainant in previous years. These photographs show his relationship with the temple administration. These images add context to ongoing investigations into Dharmasthala’s mass grave case.
The credibility of initial accusations has been seriously questioned by this development, prompting authorities to review the whole investigation. SIT examines all aspects of this case in order to establish the truth and ensure justice.
