Dharmasthala case: Complainant leads SIT from 11th spot to forest area, raises suspicions
Dharmasthala: Just as excavation work was about to begin at the 11th identified spot in the Dharmasthala case, the complainant unexpectedly led the SIT team away from the marked site and deep into the surrounding forest.
This sudden move has sparked curiosity among locals as well as the investigating officers.
Excavation has not yet begun at the originally identified 11th location. The area into which the team was led is densely forested, and what exactly lies within remains unknown, adding further intrigue to the investigation.
Questions are now being raised: Has the complainant identified new potential sites, or is there some other angle to his actions? It remains to be seen what decision the authorities will take regarding which location to excavate next.
So far, despite digging at ten sites, human skeletal remains have been found at only one. In this context, there is growing speculation on whether the complainant is now pointing out more locations.

Congress using hijab issue to pacify minority anger, alleges Karnataka LoP R Ashoka
Bengaluru: Leader of Opposition in the Assembly R. Ashoka has accused the Congress government of using the hijab issue to placate what he described as discontent among minority voters after the Davanagere by-election.
In a post on X on Wednesday, Ashoka alleged that the state government, instead of addressing issues such as price rise, corruption, farmers’ distress and law and order, was attempting to retain its minority vote base by reviving the hijab issue.
Referring to the 2022 dress code introduced by the BJP government, which prohibited hijab in schools and colleges, Ashoka said the Karnataka High Court had upheld the policy and emphasised the importance of discipline in educational institutions.
He questioned the Congress government’s move to revisit the issue and asked whether setting aside the court-backed policy to benefit one community could be described as secularism.
Ashoka further alleged that while the government was willing to permit hijab, it continued to prohibit saffron shawls.
He accused the government of dividing students on religious lines rather than treating schools and colleges as spaces of equality.
Drawing a comparison with Mamata Banerjee’s government in West Bengal, Ashoka claimed that excessive appeasement politics had harmed the state and warned that the Congress in Karnataka could face a similar political response.
He said voters in Karnataka would teach the Congress a lesson for what he termed “vote-bank politics” and for compromising constitutional and judicial principles.
