The New Indian Express Bengaluru
|August 24, 2025
THE "Mask Man", arrested by the SIT on Saturday for making false claims that he buried bodies of several men and women in Dharmasthala village, hails from Mandya.
He studied up to third standard. His parents were respected in the community, but he was known to be an idler. Married at a young age, he lived in the village till 1994 and relocated to Dharmasthala when his brother moved there. In 2014, he returned to the village with his third wife and stayed for about a year. During this time, the gram panchayat sanctioned a shed on government land, which he tried to claim for himself, leading to a dispute with the villagers. He left the village soon after and returned briefly last year during Pitru Paksha.
