SIT asks Dharmasthala ‘burial witness’ to file police complaint
Hindustan Times Delhi
|August 04, 2025
The special investigation team (SIT) probing the Dharmasthala mass burial allegations has asked a man claiming to have witnessed the illegal burial of a teenage girl's decomposed body to lodge a formal complaint with the local police.
SIT officials said the team can only begin its investigation once a case is registered at the jurisdictional police station.
A senior officer said, “The SIT is not a police station. We cannot take direct complaints. We investigate based on cases filed with the local police and then record statements.”
The witness, Jayanth, a 48-year-old social activist from Ichlampady village in Puttur taluk, met with SIT officials on August 2. He was asked to return Monday to file a formal complaint.
