The Special Investigation Team (SIT) has arrested an anonymous witness in the Dharmasthala case, putting an end to a series of false claims and conspiracies surrounding the investigation. The arrest follows the witness's confession that he provided false information to the SIT, which he claims he was told to do. The individual, who had been operating under a mask and the name C.A. Chinnayya, was arrested after his real identity and the conspiracy behind his false testimony were revealed.
The arrest came after the witness, who was previously protected under the Witness Protection Act, admitted that his claims were all false. He stated that he had no knowledge of the events he described, including burying a body, and that he was merely a pawn in a larger conspiracy. The SIT, led by Pranab Mohanty, interrogated the individual all day yesterday, unmasking the details of his background and the people who orchestrated his false testimony.
The individual was produced before the Belthangady court by the SIT today. Sources say his confession has exposed the masterminds behind the fabricated story and is expected to lead to more arrests.
He stated that the individual, Chinnayya, is an expert at lying and has been caught in the legal net. Shivakumar added that the anti-Dharmasthala gang has been exposed, and a person named Mahesh has revealed the "mask man's" photo.
D.K. Shivakumar on the Incident
Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar commented on the major development regarding the "mask man." Shivakumar mentioned that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and the Home Minister have already stated that action will be taken. He clarified that neither he nor the government supports anyone involved in the case and that the Home Minister will handle the matter.
