Controversy Unfolds: Dharmasthala Case Under SIT Lens

The Karnataka government is closely monitoring the investigation into the alleged crimes in Dharmasthala, as Home Minister G Parameshwara confirmed no decision will be made until the SIT report is reviewed.

A Special Investigation Team is investigating claims of multiple murders, rapes, and secret burials over the past two decades, based on a complaint by a former sanitation worker who says he was coerced to bury bodies.

Amid criticisms from the BJP regarding the government's handling of the case, Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar insists on uncovering any conspiracy aimed at damaging Dharmasthala's reputation through the ongoing probe.
