Belthangady (PTI): In connection with the Dharmasthala mass burial case, officers of the Special Investigation Team (SIT) brought the key witness and complainant to the Netravati riverbank in Dharmasthala under tight police security for a spot inspection on Sunday afternoon.
The inspection began around 1 PM at the bathing ghat area near the river, where the complainant identified the alleged burial site. A heavy security blanket was deployed across the area, and officers from multiple departments were stationed at the location.
Senior officers including Jitendra Kumar Dayama and C.A. Simon led the inspection, coordinating the on-site proceedings.
As news of the inspection spread, several local residents gathered near the bathing ghat, curious to witness the development. However, the SIT officers escorted the witness deep into the forest area nearby, where he is said to have pointed out the exact spots where multiple bodies were allegedly buried.
Sources indicate that the inspection could go on for several more hours.
