The Special Investigation Team (SIT) has submitted a comprehensive 7,000-page final report to a Karnataka court regarding the Dharmasthala mass burial controversy. The submission marks the culmination of an investigation that began a year ago when the state government constituted the investigative body to probe the sensitive allegations. The case stems from claims made by a masked individual who alleged that hundreds of bodies, mostly of young girls, were buried at the behest of the temple management. During the investigation, the team conducted exhumation processes in areas like Bangalagude, but recovered minimal evidence, including some skulls and properties, which have now been submitted to the court. The controversy sparked significant political reactions, with ruling party leaders opposing the formation of the investigative team and the opposition conducting a padayatra from Bengaluru to Dharmasthala in support of the temple. The masked complainant and his wife were present in court when the officers filed the extensive charge sheet. The court will now examine the findings to determine the next course of action.
