An officer associated with the SIT told TNIE that the new site is where the witness-complainant claimed to have buried a minor girl along with her school bag, but they did not find any human remains.

In the complaint, the whistleblower claimed: "One incident has haunted me wherein a minor girl aged between 12 and 15 years was found lying dead about 500 metres away from a petrol bunk at Kalleri in 2010. She was wearing a school uniform, but her skirt and inner-wear were missing, and she had marks of sexual assault and strangulation. I was asked to dig a pit and bury her along with her school bag."
