Bengaluru, Aug. 19 -- The Karnataka government on Monday informed the state assembly that the Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the alleged mass burials in Dharmasthala has decided to temporarily suspend excavation and exhumation work until forensic analysis is complete.
State home minister G Parameshwara, who provided an update on the case, said soil and skeletal samples had been sent to laboratories and the probe would resume only after expert reports are received.
"If chemical analysis indicates traces of human DNA, the investigation would follow a different course. The SIT has been allowed to decide," he said.P10
