The special investigative team (SIT) interviewed one of the complainants, Sujata Bhat, in connection with the Dharmasthala ‘Mass Burial’ case for the third consecutive day. Sources told the news agency PTI that the complainant identified as Sujata Bhat expressed her desire to withdraw the complaint during questioning. Sujata previously claimed that her daughter Ananya disappeared from the Dharmasthala Temple site in 2003. But later it is claimed that the narrative of the missing girl may have been produced. Investigators noted that she appears to be under significant pressure and is struggling with the continued interrogation, Pti reports. “Sit officials found her earlier claims contradictory against her explanations, indicating that she was lying and the legal process,” the report added. Sujata acknowledged, revealed names while Sujata had earlier claimed that her daughter’s disappearance was part of a greater conspiracy, she revealed the names of certain individuals allegedly involved. However, the SIT officials did not confirm the details, stating that the revelations were verified. Sources told NDTV Sujata – ‘whose second name is not Bhat’, admitted that he did not have a daughter after two days of interrogation. The police are now working out the following steps. Sujata’s hat -trick of claims Last week, Sujata completed a hat -trick of claims regarding her ‘daughter’. Sujata first claimed that her daughter was “missing” during a university journey to Dharmasthala. She later told a YouTube channel ‘Ananya’, a medical student. In the interview with the YouTube channel Insight Trush, Sujatha Bhat said: ‘That’s not true. There was never a daughter named Ananya Bhat, ‘HT reported. She further claimed that two well -known activists, the Girish Mattannavar and T Jayanti put her under pressure to make up the story. She claims that activists have put her under pressure to produce the story due to a property dispute to which her grandfather’s land is related to the authorities of the Dharmasthala Temple. Her grandfather reportedly owned the property allegedly held by the Dharmasthala temple authorities. She apologized to the public for making false claims, and she said, ‘I had a gravel that my grandfather was given away a nce -rays without my signature. All I wanted to ask was it. ‘ She claims that the activists have provoked her to draw up a story. Weeks after the interview, in her third U-turn, she told NDTV that she was forced to deny the existence of ‘Ananya Bhat’ by the YouTube channel that questioned her. “It’s true, I have a daughter. The YouTube channel made me say … ‘, she said. What is the case of Dharmasthala ‘Mass Funeral’? The case stems from the allegations of a whistle -blower that remains unidentified. The complainant witness, a former sanitation worker at the Dharmasthala Temple, reportedly claimed to have worked in Dharmasthala between 1995 and 2014. He claimed to have been forced to bury a number of bodies, including those of women and minors, in Dharmasthala. He claimed that some of the bodies showed signs of sexual assault. He also made a statement before a magistrate in this regard. A case of these alleged murders and funerals was brought after the whistleblower made public to claim for decades of undocumented funerals in forest areas what he claimed to have ordered the temple authorities. The SIT, compiled to investigate the matter, previously found suspected human remains during excavation. Last week, the Sit arrested the complainant who claimed that several murders, rapes and funerals in Dharmasthala were found for contradictions in the statements and documents provided. Meanwhile, the ongoing efforts of the sitting focused on verifying Sujata’s demands and find evidence to substantiate the complaint. Legal experts said even if Sujata formally withdraws her complaint, the sitting is likely to continue with the investigation as the case involves serious allegations and has already entered the legal process. The case, which has caused political sparring and public debates, remains waiting under now, with the sitting expected to submit an interim report in the coming weeks, a senior police officer said.
