In a major development in the Dharmasthala buried skull case, the Special Investigation Team (SIT) summoned Soujanya’s uncle, Vital Gowda, for questioning. He appeared at the SIT office in Beltangady on September 5, 2025. His interrogation is reportedly linked to allegations concerning the origin of the skull(s) buried in the temple town.
Sources reveal that Vital Gowda remained at the SIT office overnight on both September 5 and 6, during which he is said to have provided important information to the investigators. His involvement adds a dramatic twist to the ongoing case, especially after previous accused Girish Mattannavar allegedly named Vital Gowda during his interrogation.YUISI Sun Hat for Men Women, Breathable Summer Hat for Travel, Hiking, Gardening, Sun Hats for Men & Round Sun Cap for Hiking, Hats for Women Indoor Outdoor Activities
It is now being alleged that the skull previously presented in court as evidence during Chinnayya’s hearing was originally handed over by Vital Gowda himself. Reports suggest that he had brought the skull months ago, before Chinnayya entered the scene, and later introduced him to Timarodi and the alleged gang involved.News Update: GST on Clean Energy Equipment Slashed to 5%
As of now, SIT continues its investigation, and it remains to be seen what further disclosures may come from Vital Gowda. Previously, SIT had interrogated several suspects, including Chinnayya, Timarodi, Sujatha Bhatt, Sameer, and Girish Mattannavar.
