Another unexpected twist in the investigation into the alleged mass burial at Dharmasthala came when the Special Investigation Team (SIT) reached Bengaluru with ‘Maskman’ Chinnaiah. The team inspected three places visited by Chinnaiah at the beginning of the year. These visits are believed to be connected to his plan.
One of the main hideouts is a rented house in Mallasandra, which is in the name of T Jayanth. T Jayanth is considered close to self-styled social activist Mahesh Shetty Timmarodi of Dakshina Kannada. Chinnaiah said that he stayed in this house in April, after which the SIT reached there and investigated. Currently, Jayanth’s wife, son and daughter are living in that house.
As reported by source informed, “This is the house where Chinnaiah brought the skull for the first time and later the same skull was handed over to the SIT. From here Chinnaiah and Jayanth left for Delhi so that the matter could be taken to the Supreme Court.” Speaking to the media outside the SIT office in Belthangady, Jayanth confirmed that Chinnaiah had come to meet him with the skull. “I brought him home from the Satellite bus stand (Mysore Road). He told me that he had a skull in his bag which he had to submit for investigation. We went out with the bag, opened it at a secluded spot and took pictures of the skull. We then went to Delhi to meet some officials so that the matter reaches the Supreme Court. I helped Chinnaiah with good intentions, I am not part of any conspiracy. If the SIT finds me guilty, I am ready to face the law,” Jayanth said.
Jayanth further said that this was Chinnaiah’s third visit to the Mallasandra house. “My family members wife and children live there. I had no idea that the matter would escalate to this extent,” he said.
If sources are to be believed, the SIT is going to inspect two more houses in Bengaluru one in Sahakarnagar (Hebbal) and the other in Kamakshipalya (Magadi Road). “The SIT was present at Jayanth’s Mallasandra house till Saturday night… the other two houses may be visited on Sunday,” a source said.
