SIT likely to make fresh arrests in Dharmasthala case
Bengaluru/Belthangady
The Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the Dharmasthala mass burial and unnatural death reports is likely to make fresh arrests, sources in the Home Department revealed to blrpost.com.
Meanwhile, the SIT has summoned Soujanya activists Mahesh Shetty Thimarodi, Girish Mattannavar, and Jayanth T under Section 35(3) of the Bharatiya Nagarika Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS). The activists have been asked to appear for investigation on Monday (October 27).
Sources in the Home Department clarified that no deadline has been set for the submission of the chargesheet. “Mainstream television news channels do not understand how the investigation system works, and that may be the reason such reports were aired. No deadline has been fixed for the SIT to submit the chargesheet,” the source said.
The source further indicated that the SIT is likely preparing to make some arrests but did not confirm whether the individuals involved would be the activists or the Dharmasthala suspects. The SIT has completed recording the police statement of accused Chinnayya, who was arrested on August 23. Following his statement, the SIT will now record the statements of the activists.
If SIT arrests these who demanded justice and protects the criminal gang head and the entire machinery, SIT would also become another fake investigation team like Local Police, COD and CBI. Time will reveal the truth.
I hope the activists are not made into scapegoats on filmsy grounds, and the thousands of deaths are swept under the carpet and perpetrators go scot free. That is what has happened in Dharmasthala for half a century. It has to stop
If activists gets arrested then people will loose hope on this government too. People will surely do a NOTA or other party would likely choose others against the normal party especially ppl of udupi and DK.
This would also prove Godmans power.
Also surprisingly what is the point of ugrappa report then ? I have heard in some youtubers in the report there are testimonials
Govt will have to pay a huge price if activists get arrested public reaction will also soar up.So a diplomatic approach can be expected.Eagerly waiting for tomorrow
