Dharmasthala mass burial case: SIT uses JCB for excavation near Netravati Ghat
Belthangady: The Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the mass burials case has begun excavation near the Netravati bathing ghat, a location identified by the complainant as a possible burial site for the victims’ bodies. The operation is being carried out using a JCB machine, according to official sources.
Heavy rainfall in the region is reportedly hampering the progress of the excavation. Authorities revealed that water is seeping into the site, creating difficulties and limiting the digging to just four feet so far.
Only one location is currently being excavated. Police sources have confirmed that further investigation at other spots will begin only after the operation at the present site is completed.
Due to the proximity to the river, the sand is slipping and water is coming in, so a JCB will be used to carry out the excavation process, said officials.
