Dharmasthala Crimes: SIT to continue digging at 13th spot today
Bengaluru
The Special Investigation Team (SIT), which dug at the 13th spot for more than four hours, will continue work at the same location on Wednesday. The team has been using Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) to narrow down search areas. However, water encountered during the digging hampered progress.
Sources in the Home Ministry told blrpost.com that no skeletal remains have been found so far, but a significant portion of the area remains unexplored. The excavation will resume on Wednesday.
It should be noted that the SIT was constituted by the State government on July 19 after a former sanitation worker at the Dharmasthala Temple Administration filed a complaint at the Dharmasthala police station on July 3. In the complaint, he alleged that he had been forced to bury hundreds of bodies, many of them victims of sexual abuse and violence.
According to sources, the SIT dug more than 15 feet before hitting water. Even after this, the team continued its work, summoning a motor to pump the water out. Despite their best efforts, they were unable to fully remove the water due to silt accumulation.
The sources added that the SIT suspects there could be several skeletal remains in the area and therefore did not wind up operations on Tuesday. The investigation will continue despite opposition raised by BJP MLAs on the first day of the Assembly session.

All those who have weight in their belly will cry frog 🐸 . If nothing then why should worry just let SIT do their job. Democracy is not operational without religion and spirituality. There is democratic president around the world till date. It the democracy was fully operational then equality would be the mandate to drive the country. Which isn’t. We are unfortunately in a half baked democracy.
We the people of India moved from slavery to become a citizen with the right to vote and elect a citizen to power so that he can do what the rest need. But the power is such that by default the chair has a gun , he starts to fire at everyone. As that is the attitude of the power and chair is such. Which hasn’t changed even after independence or from kings atrocities to the present governance.. whatever happened or happens here for last few centuries is all because we do not have freedom and equality.
