MANGALURU: Chinniah, the whistleblower in the alleged Dharmasthala secret burial case, who was arrested last month for perjury, recorded a fresh voluntary statement before a Belthangady court on Tuesday. Chinniah, currently lodged in Shivamogga prison, was brought under security and produced before the Additional Civil Judge and JMFC around 3 pm. This is the second time he has submitted a voluntary statement. On July 11, he appeared before a magistrate, recorded his statement, and handed over skeletal remains he claimed to have exhumed. However, forensic tests later revealed that the remains he submitted — which he claimed were of a woman — were male.
