Major Investigation: Special Team to Probe Disturbing Claims of Missing Women in Dharmasthala

The Karnataka government has taken decisive action by forming a Special Investigation Team (SIT) consisting of 20 police officers to probe alarming allegations surfacing from Dharmasthala. These allegations involve horrific cases of missing women, rape, and murder in the region.

This investigative team is extensive, comprising officers from various ranks, including a Superintendent of Police, Deputy Superintendents, inspectors, and constables, as dictated by the order from DGP M A Saleem. Such a comprehensive team indicates the seriousness with which the government is treating these claims.

The formation of the SIT was driven by demands from multiple sectors, following distressing assertions from a civic worker regarding the burial of hundreds of female bodies. The task at hand is critical, as the SIT seeks to uncover the truth behind these troubling reports.
