One skeleton found in Dharmasthala identified through ID card
Belthangady: In the shocking case of seven skeletons recovered from Netravati Bangle Gudde area of Dharmasthala village, the Special Investigation Team (SIT) has reportedly identified one of the skeletons with the help of an ID card found at the site.
According to officials, the remains are suspected to belong to U.B. Ayyappa (70), a resident of Shettigeri village in Ponnampet taluk of Kodagu district. An ID card found near the skeleton has led investigators to this assumption.
The SIT suspects that the body recovered alongside the ID card could be that of Ayyappa and has begun verification. Family members had earlier lodged a missing complaint at Kattu Police Station, stating that Ayyappa had gone missing after visiting Mysuru for treatment. However, no trace of him was found until now.
At present, only the skull and bones have been recovered, and authorities have said that a forensic examination will be necessary to confirm whether the remains indeed belong to Ayyappa.
