Skeletal Remains Found in Dharmasthala Mass Burial Probe
Police are investigating claims of mass burials in a town called Dharmasthala.
They found bones at the sixth place they dug, which is the first real clue.
The bones are probably from a man, but they need to do tests to be sure.
A worker who used to clean up said he buried many bodies, starting the investigation.
Now, the police are trying to figure out if this is true and if there are more bodies hidden.
Skeletal remains were found at excavation site six in Dharmasthala, Karnataka.
The discovery marks the first recovery of human remains in the mass burial probe.
The remains are suspected to be of a male, but await forensic analysis.
The investigation began after a former sanitation worker alleged he buried over 100 bodies.
The SIT is tasked with verifying claims and potentially uncovering more remains.
