The Special Investigation Team (SIT) on Friday began excavation at the seventh identified location in the temple town of Dharmasthala, as part of its ongoing probe into allegations of mass burials in the area, police said.
The development comes a day after skeletal remains were recovered during digging at the adjacent site, identified as Point No 6, on Thursday.
The SIT has intensified operations by deploying additional personnel, including excavation labourers and heavy machinery, to dig at the marked sites. A total of 15 locations have been identified for excavation, based on a complaint submitted anonymously by a former sanitation worker.
The SIT was formed after allegations emerged of mass murder, rape, and illegal burials in Dharmasthala over the past two decades.
