Bengaluru: Actor and activist Prakash Raj has issued a strong public appeal to Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, calling for the immediate formation of a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the explosive allegations surrounding the Dharmasthala case. His statement comes in response to the Chief Minister’s assurance that legal action will follow a police investigation.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Prakash Raj expressed cautious optimism about the CM’s intentions but warned that delays could enable powerful perpetrators to destroy crucial evidence.
"Honorable Chief Minister @siddaramaiah sir, I have faith in your words... but these brutal murderers... and the despicable demons protecting them cannot be trusted," Prakash Raj wrote in Kannada. "Please take urgent action so that the investigation is not delayed and evidence is not destroyed. Form an SIT and take strong action against the officials who have misled the investigation so far. #justasking"
CM Siddaramaiah had earlier tweeted, “The Police Department is investigating the Dharmasthala case and will take legal action. I will discuss with the police department and take a decision regarding the formation of an SIT. There will be no pressure in the matter of investigation. Action will be taken according to law.”
