Secrets and skeletons are tumbling out of the closet at Dharmasthala
This temple town in the coastal region of Karnataka is back in the headlines, rudely shaken by the chilling confessions of a whistleblower.
A former sanitation worker has claimed that between 1995 and 2014, he buried the bodies of hundreds of people allegedly ‘raped and murdered’, at the pilgrimage site. The secret and forceful burials, he says, were done under threat.
What did the complainant say in his statement to the police? How will the SIT proceed now? We discuss.
