New testimonies in Karnataka’s Dharmasthala mass burial case have reignited outrage, with RTI activist Jayanth filing a formal complaint to the SIT. He claims to have witnessed the illegal burial of a young girl, stating her body was buried “like a dog” without following legal protocols. RTI documents reveal Belthangady police deleted all entries from the Unnatural Death Register between 2000 and 2015, coinciding with multiple suspicious deaths. Jayanth alleges key records of postmortems, missing persons data, and photographs were destroyed under routine orders. The SIT is expected to begin exhumation proceedings. The case has triggered demands for accountability amid fears of a systemic cover-up involving women and minors. (PC: India Today & The Indian Express)
