Overview
- Eight seers under the Sanatan Sant Niyog met Amit Shah in New Delhi seeking an NIA probe, with delegates saying the Home Minister is monitoring the case and, according to a Jain monk, plans a September 8 review meeting.
- Karnataka Home Minister G. Parameshwara said the SIT is already probing the allegations and that any NIA takeover would need justification, adding that foreign funding claims fall under central jurisdiction.
- The Enforcement Directorate is gathering information on alleged foreign funding and tracing accounts linked to activists, as reported by IANS citing sources.
- Women’s groups wrote to Sonia Gandhi urging a victim‑focused inquiry that addresses patterns of unnatural deaths and past failures, citing RTI data and the Ugrappa report, and objecting to statements they say undermine the SIT.
- The probe’s credibility battle continues after complainant C. N. Chinnaiah was arrested on perjury charges, with reports noting limited skeletal finds at some identified sites while most produced no mass‑grave evidence.
