Bengaluru: Actor and activist Prakash Raj has issued a strong public appeal to Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, calling for the immediate formation of a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the explosive allegations surrounding the Dharmasthala case. His statement comes in response to the Chief Minister’s assurance that legal action will follow a police investigation.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Prakash Raj expressed cautious optimism about the CM’s intentions but warned that delays could enable powerful perpetrators to destroy crucial evidence.
"Honorable Chief Minister @siddaramaiah sir, I have faith in your words... but these brutal murderers... and the despicable demons protecting them cannot be trusted," Prakash Raj wrote in Kannada. "Please take urgent action so that the investigation is not delayed and evidence is not destroyed. Form an SIT and take strong action against the officials who have misled the investigation so far. #justasking"
CM Siddaramaiah had earlier tweeted, “The Police Department is investigating the Dharmasthala case and will take legal action. I will discuss with the police department and take a decision regarding the formation of an SIT. There will be no pressure in the matter of investigation. Action will be taken according to law.”

Udhayanidhi accuses BJP of not releasing funds for TN
Gobichettipalayam (PTI): Tamil Nadu deputy chief minister Udhayanidhi Stalin on Saturday charged the BJP government at the Centre with not releasing funds to the state and accused it of "snatching" TN's rights.
Addressing a poll rally at Gobichettipalayam in the western Erode district, the DMK youth wing chief claimed the Centre has not released funds to the tune of Rs 3,000 crore for education.
"They (union government) have snatched all our rights," he charged.
With regard to the Centre's proposal for delimitation, he said chief minister M K Stalin was the first person in the country to raise the voice against the union government's move. He claimed that it was a "huge victory" for the INDIA alliance, as the bill was defeated for lack of majority after the opposition voted against it in the Lok Sabha.
Listing out various welfare measures implemented by the DMK government, he said the existing "Kalaignar Magalir Urimai Thogai" (monthly financial assistance for women) will be doubled to Rs 2,000 if DMK was voted to power again.
The deputy chief minister charged that the BJP and AIADMK have tried to stall it by moving the court. "At present more than 1.3 crore women have benefited from the scheme", he said.
"Similarly, the breakfast scheme for the government school students will be extended till Class VIII", he said adding "more than 35 lakh college students across the state will be getting free laptops once the DMK government is formed".
Udhayanidhi also pointed out at the "Illatharasi" poll promise, providing Rs 8,000 worth of coupons to non-income tax paying women where they could buy or replace any household appliances of their choice.
Elections to 234 Assembly seats in Tamil Nadu will be held on April 23 and the results declared on May 4 following counting of polled votes.
