Dharmasthala mass burial case: SIT searches site near road to Bahuballi Betta
Mangaluru: The Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the alleged Dharmasthala mass burial case conducted a search operation at a site near the road leading to Bahuballi Betta on Saturday. The team is focusing on locations other than the sites reportedly identified and marked last week based on the statements of the complainant witness. The SIT, accompanied by the complainant witness and other officials, cordoned off the search area with tapes and a green shade net before commencing operations. An earthmover was also deployed at the site. SP Jitendra Kumar Dayama, Puttur assistant commissioner Stella Varghese, and scene of crime officials (SoCO) as well as labourers were present. Earlier in the day, it was expected that the SIT would conduct further searches at a site in Boliyar that was searched on Friday. This followed the complainant witness's claim in his complaint that the body of a school-going girl, aged about 10–15, dressed in a uniform and carrying a school bag, was disposed of at that location. On Friday too, the SIT found no human remains. Meanwhile, as the search operation was in progress, advocate Manjunath N alleged a conspiracy to obstruct the investigation through deliberate soil dumping at Bahubali Hill forest Area. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Use an AI Writing Tool That Actually Understands Your Voice Grammarly Install Now Undo He stated that excavation work commenced in the forest area at the foothills of Bahubali Hills. However, to prevent any evidence from being discovered, vested interests have recently dumped approximately 10ft of fresh soil and debris across this forest area. With dozens of feet of fresh soil now accumulated, excavating even seven feet deep may not reveal buried skeletal remains, he alleged. It may be recalled that the SIT began exhumation in connection with allegations of mass burials on July 29. | Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

Sunil Yadav, accused in Viveka murder, joins Pulivendula ZPTC bypoll fray
T irupati: Yadati Sunil Yadav, one of the key accused in the murder of former MP Y S Vivekananda Reddy, is contesting the Pulivendula ZPTC by-election as an independent candidate. Yadav was released on bail by Telangana high court in Oct last year, after spending nearly three years in jail. He has been named as one of the key accused by the CBI in the sensational crime, which rocked Andhra Pradesh just before the 2019 general elections. After coming out on bail, Yadav, who continues to deny his involvement in the murder and had also expressed his intentions to enter politics, has now filed his nomination to contest the Aug 12 ZPTC bypoll. Yadav, who is pinning his hopes on the anti-YS family sentiment in Pulivendula, has been targeting Kadapa MP Y S Avinash Reddy, who too is a key accused in the murder case as per the CBI chargesheet. In June, Yadav filed a assault complaint against Avinash Reddy's followers. "The Kadapa MP is now complaining about TDP misusing police forces and the election commission to its advantage. Wasn't it the YSRCP which brought in such a culture in the state? Now TDP is dimly giving the YSRCP a taste of its own medicine. There are many families like mine who were left shattered because of YSRCP. I am pinning hopes on their support to win the Pulivendula ZPTC election," Yadav said.
