DHARMASTHALA, 6 AUG
The Special Investigation Team revisited a forested stretch near Dharmasthala on Wednesday in connection with the ongoing probe into the alleged mass burial case, accompanied by the anonymous complainant who had initiated the case.
According to sources, the complainant—a former sanitation worker—led the team deeper into the forest and pointed out a fresh location for inspection. The site, reportedly marked as "Spot 11A", is located close to an earlier point where skeletal remains were recovered earlier this week.
Heavy machinery and a group of workers were deployed at the site, which the SIT is now treating as significant in its investigation.
Forensic teams are expected to conduct a detailed survey of the area.
SIT officials have remained tight-lipped about the latest developments, saying only that the new location is under close observation.
The complainant, who claimed to have worked in Dharmasthala between 1995 and 2014, has alleged that he was forced to bury multiple bodies—including those of women and minors—some of which showed signs of sexual assault.
