Dharmasthala burials revelation shocked Nirmalananda Swamiji, says activist Girish Mattannavar
Bengaluru: Social activist Girish Mattannavar has stated that when Chinnayya personally revealed, in detail, the information about the bodies allegedly buried illegally in Dharmasthala, including those of victims of rape and murder, Nirmalananda Swamiji was stunned.
Posting about this on Instagram, he said that Chinnayya disclosed, point by point, not only the details of Sowjanya’s rape and murder but also other illegal killing cases before the seer. “Sowjanya was an innocent Vokkaliga girl, but justice is needed for innocent lives of every community. We stand with your struggle, the Math stands with you. I will meet the Chief Minister tomorrow itself and inform him about this issue, and we will try to secure justice for the distressed. Kaalabhairava is with you on this Kaalabhairava Sunday; be courageous,” the seer is said to have assured.
Girish added that after the Kaalabhairava darshan at the Vokkaliga Mahasamsthana, the revered Nirmalananda Guru blessed the Sowjanya justice movement and offered his protection while seated on his peetha, calling it a divine moment for all the activists.
He questioned whether it was a “conspiracy” when powerful Vokkaliga political leaders, who are known for their influence, failed to secure justice for a Vokkaliga girl like Sowjanya and instead sided with the influential family accused in the murder case, but a spiritual leader chose to bless the struggle.
He further asked, “What is wrong if the Vokkaliga family of the brutally raped and murdered girl, along with activists, seeks the blessings of the Vokkaliga seer for justice? How is that a conspiracy? Let the filthy political leaders and the sold-out media answer these questions.”
Girish Mattannavar also stated that at a time when political leaders remained blind and mute spectators to the serial rape-and-murder horror in Dharmasthala, Nirmalananda Swamiji stood up and provided moral strength to Bhageeratha Timarodi, who has been fighting relentlessly for justice. “The entire human race should feel proud of him,” he said. “Now let the dirty political leaders and some gutter-eating media tell us — where is the conspiracy? Who is the shark? Who are the urban Naxals?”
In a special note, he warned social media users not to dismiss the photos as “AI-generated.” “Those who spread such falsehoods and lose sleep over it should send it to the Fact Check Lab and fix their brains,” he wrote, using the hashtag #JusticeForSoujanya.

Hubballi: Gym trainer assaulted; police say clash due to personal reasons
Hubballi: A gym trainer was allegedly assaulted by a group of people following accusations of sexual assault and ‘love jihad’, even as both families involved in the case traded serious allegations.
According to police, a group of individuals went to the residence of Sameer Mulla, a resident of Vijayanagar, and questioned him over his friendship with a woman he had met at a gym. The situation escalated into a clash, during which he was allegedly dragged away and assaulted. He sustained minor injuries and was admitted to KIMS hospital.
N. Shashikumar said that after this incident, members from Sameer’s side went to the woman’s house, leading to another clash in which one person was injured. “It was wrong for groups to go near houses. We will take necessary legal action,” he said, adding that the incident appears to have arisen from personal reasons. Police have taken some individuals into custody and are investigating the matter.
Sameer Mulla was reportedly thrashed by a group of Sangh Parivar activists and later handed over to police at the Old Hubballi Police Station after relatives of the woman and members of Hindu organisations gathered at his residence in Rajnagar.
The woman’s family alleged assault and threats from Sameer’s relatives at their Vikas Nagar residence.
Meanwhile, Sameer’s family denied the allegations and accused the woman’s relatives and others of assaulting and kidnapping him. His sister said the two had been in a relationship for three years and that the allegations were baseless.
Police said statements from both sides have been recorded, and a detailed investigation is underway. Sameer remains hospitalised, and appropriate legal action will be taken based on findings.
In a video statement shared on social media, the 20-year-old woman alleged that Sameer had given her an intoxicant, recorded videos without her consent, and sexually assaulted her. She lodged a complaint alleging rape and blackmail, which police are investigating.
In another video, Sameer denied the allegations, claiming the video was recorded with consent and that the accusations were made under pressure.
Former Hubballi-Dharwad Urban Development Authority (HDUDA) chairman Nagesh Kalburgi termed the incident a serious matter and urged police to take strict action.
Police said the case involves multiple complaints from both sides, and further investigation is underway.
