In a dramatic development in the Dharmasthala mass burial case, the complainant—C N Chinnaiah, a former sanitation worker who claimed he was coerced into burying murder victims—has been arrested by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) on charges of perjury, following inconsistencies in his statements and supporting documents. The court has remanded him to 10 days of police custody to allow further investigation. The arrest casts doubt on the credibility of earlier allegations and adds complexity to an already high-profile investigation. (PC: PTI)
