The mysterious discovery of secret graves near Dharmasthala has taken a shocking turn. The Special Investigation Team (SIT) found PAN and ATM cards buried at the site, which eventually led them to a man who had died at his home near Bengaluru.
This strange case, filled with silence, secrecy, and a digital paper trail, is now one of Karnataka’s most discussed crime investigations in 2025.
What Was Found?
Human skeletal remains were discovered in a shallow grave near Dharmasthala.
At the site, officials also found PAN cards, ATM cards, a mobile SIM tray, and other personal effects.
Using these, the SIT tracked the digital trail to a man who had allegedly died of natural causes in Bengaluru.
Who Was the Deceased?
The man was a middle-aged resident of a Bengaluru suburb.
Neighbors claim he had withdrawn from social circles in his final months.
