- On August 23, the Special Investigation Team arrested a 50-year-old whistleblower linked to alleged mass burials in Dharmasthala, Karnataka.
- The arrest followed discovery of inconsistencies in his statements after he claimed to bury 70-80 bodies, some showing signs of sexual assault over more than a decade.
- The whistleblower underwent a medical examination before a Belthangady court granted the SIT ten-day custody to continue the investigation.
- Forensic analysis confirmed one set of remains as male, and the whistleblower retracted his earlier claim that all burials were illegal, resulting in charges of perjury and false evidence.
- The arrest highlights ongoing investigations into decades-old sexual harassment and murders linked to land disputes, with CPI State Secretary K. Prakash urging focused SIT inquiries into specific cases.
