Mangaluru : Lawyers Ojasvi Gowda and Sachin S. Deshpande have revealed information through social media that an anonymous person, who was making a statement through his lawyer that several bodies had been buried in Dharmasthala village, had come to the Dakshina Kannada District Superintendent of Police’s office on July 3 and filed a complaint.
The Dakshina Kannada police have said that they will probe a complaint filed by a person, that he was forced to bury many bodies in the jurisdiction of Dharmasthala village more than a decade ago.
There were bodies of persons, both men and women, who were murdered and raped, the complainant claimed, requesting police to conduct an inquiry on those deaths by exhuming the remains. The person offered to show police the places where the bodies were buried.
A release by the Dakshina Kannada police on July 3 said that the person, whose name and address have not been revealed, filed the complaint with Dharmasthala police and the Superintendent of Police. Police accepted the complaint. An inquiry will be conducted on the same and suitable legal action will be taken, the release said.
Meanwhile, in the complaint, which was released by advocates Ojaswi Gowda and Sachin Deshpande, the complainant said that he was working as sanitation worker in Dharmasthala from 1995 to 2014. Later, he fled Dharmasthala to a neighbouring State fearing threat to life and family, he said.
The complainant, who has sought protection from the police, said it was out of remorse that he had come forward now — after a decade — to disclose the information. Justice should be done to the dead, the complainant said.
Those behind the deaths were “powerful” persons, the complainant said, adding that their names and roles behind the deaths will be revealed once he and his family got protection under the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam
