Hindustan Times Bengaluru
|July 12, 2025
A daily-wage labourer who previously confessed to burying more than 100 dead bodies in and around Dharmasthala village in Dakshina Kannada district appeared before a local court on Friday and recorded his formal statement under heavy security, officials aware of the matter said.
The development comes even as the man has been granted security under the Witness Protection Scheme, 2018.
His advocates, Ojaswi Gowda and Sachin S Deshpande, confirmed the protection. “A communication to this effect was sent to us on the evening of 10-Jul-2025 by the authorities concerned. The Complainant conveys his gratitude to the District judiciary, Dakshina Kannada, the police authorities in Dakshina Kannada and the Government of Karnataka for acting expeditiously on the request for Witness Protection for the Complainant,” they said in a statement.
