A Special Investigation Team (SIT) has made a significant breakthrough in the Dharmasthala case by uncovering skeletal remains during a search in the Banglegudda forest near the Netravati bathing ghats in Dakshina Kannada district. This development could provide a new direction in the investigation of this high-profile case.
The remains were found in a region already identified as a potential evidence site during previous witness depositions. SIT personnel have since collected the bones and sent them for forensic examination to ascertain their identity, time of death, and potential cause.
The Dharmasthala case, involving the alleged rape and murder of 17-year-old college student Soujanya in 2012, has long been in the public eye due to allegations of custodial lapses and evidence mishandling. The discovery of these skeletons might finally unlock answers to lingering questions and further the SIT inquiry.
