Belthangady: SIT expected to record fresh statement of complainant Chinnayya on Dharmasthala case
Belthangady: A fresh statement of Chinnayya, complainant-witness in the Dharmasthala mass burial case, is expected to be recorded soon by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) that is probing the case.
Chinnayya, who has been arrested for perjury and is currently been imprisoned, recently told the Belthangady court that he stated before the SIT that he had buried more than 10 corpses, sources have said. The SIT is now reportedly recording his official statement in order to collect more information about the issue.
The police team has already collected the statements of Chinnayya’s wife Mallika and his sister Ratna in connection to the case.
Further, the police officers are expected to take Chinnayya into custody again and interrogate him as the statements of the complainant-witness are found to be haphazard and inconsistent.
Since the SIT requires court permission to record a fresh statement of the complainant-witness, however, the officers are expected to approach the court on Wednesday for the permission. The court is also expected to grant permission within a couple of days.
