Karnataka Forms SIT for Sowjanya Case; Activists Plan Nyayada Nadige March
The Karnataka government has formed a five-member Special Investigation Team (SIT) to reinvestigate the 2012 rape and murder of Sowjanya, following a Supreme Court directive. RSS leader Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat welcomed the SIT's formation but expressed concerns about the impartiality of some members. Activists and Sowjanya's mother announced a five-kilometre Nyayada Nadige march on October 10 to support the reinvestigation and called for an honest inquiry and enhanced safety measures for women.
