Dharmasthala: Torn red blouse, PAN Card, ATM card found at site, reveals Sujatha Bhat’s lawyer
Mangaluru: In a revelation related to the ongoing investigation into the alleged mass burial case in Dharmasthala, Advocate Manjunath N, representing Sujatha Bhat, the mother of missing woman Ananya Bhat, has disclosed the recovery of a torn red blouse, a PAN card, and an ATM card from Site No. 1 during the recent SIT excavation.
According to Manjunath, these items were found at a depth of around 2.5 feet on July 29. The PAN and ATM cards reportedly bear two different names—one belonging to a male and the other to a female named Lakshmi. This information had not been officially made public earlier by the investigating authorities.
The lawyer said that soon after the recovery, the Special Investigation Team (SIT) continued to dig deeper into the site, eventually reaching a depth of 10 feet. He appreciated the SIT’s commitment, calling the extended excavation a “physically demanding” but “professionally commendable” act aimed at ensuring no possible evidence is left behind.
Manjunath expressed hope that the recovered items could lead to fresh clues and urged the SIT to investigate the names on the cards with urgency. “The rigour shown by the team has given us renewed hope,” he said, extending full support to the SIT as they move forward with operations at the other marked sites.
