On July 31, 2025, the Special Investigation Team (SIT) uncovered partial human remains from a site near the Nethravathi river in Dharmasthala. This location was among 13 identified by a former sanitation worker who alleged he had buried unidentified bodies there between 1995 and 2014.

How many sites are being examined? What do official records show about unidentified deaths in the area? What have local authorities said about burial practices? 

In this episode of Let Me Explain, TNM’s Pooja Prasanna and Shivani Kava report on the confirmed findings, official statements, and next steps in the investigation.
