The investigation into the Dharmasthala case took a dramatic turn on Wednesday after the Special Investigation Team (SIT), which has been camping in the area for two days, discovered skeletal remains at a marked location known as Point-6.

The site, located in a dense forest, has now been fortified with sheets on all sides to protect evidence. Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) teams have preserved 12 bone fragments, including two pieces of a human skull, leg bones, spine bones, and a piece of torn elastic underwear. SIT sources reportedly confirmed these findings represent a significant breakthrough, supporting earlier allegations that a body was buried there.
With security heightened around the excavation zone, the SIT has begun digging at nearby Point-7. Officials believe a full skeleton could be found, potentially unlocking further evidence in the case.
Mystery surrounding a debit and PAN card found earlier at Point-1 resolved
Meanwhile, the mystery surrounding a debit and PAN card found earlier at Point-1 has been resolved. SIT inquiries confirmed the PAN card belonged to a person who had died of illness, while the debit card is registered to his mother, who is alive. Authorities have ruled out any criminal link to these items.
In Vijayanagar district, hundreds of devotees at Gachin Math in Kotturu have conducted special rituals for Dharmasthala’s sanctity, warning against misinformation and expressing support for the SIT’s impartial probe.
