Dr. Veerendra Heggade urges devotees to not be misled by rumors in Sowjanya's case
Says he had always demanded justice for Sowjanya
Beltangady: Dr. Veerendra Heggade, the Dharmadhikari of Sri Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara Temple, has issued a press statement demanding appropriate justice in the case of Sowjanya's death. Sowjanya, a college student from Pangla, was found dead in 2012, and the case is currently under the purview of the court and investigating agencies.
In his statement, Dr. Heggade emphasized that the case was handled by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and later it was transferred to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) based on requests from Sri Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara Temple and the family members of the victim.
Dr. Heggade stated that the CBI conducted a thorough investigation and submitted a charge sheet against the accused to the court. However, the court subsequently acquitted the accused during the trial.
Despite the court's decision, Dr. Heggade expressed concern about the spread of false accusations targeting Sri Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara Temple and his family. He urged the public and devotees not to be misled by derogatory statements, false rumors, and baseless accusations.
Dr. Heggade's press statement clarified that Sri Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara Temple had taken proactive steps to seek justice in the Sowjanya case. The temple authorities had urged the government to conduct a high-level investigation, which ultimately led to the CBI taking over the case.
