Another U-Turn In Karnataka Mass Burial Case, Woman Blames YouTuber

Sujata Bhat, an elderly woman in Karnataka, had claimed her daughter went missing in Dharmasthala, a small village in Dakshin Kannada district at the centre of a mass burial controversy. Weeks later, she backtracked and told a YouTuber that her daughter, MBBS student Ananya Bhat, never existed. Now, in another U-turn, she has told NDTV that she was forced to make the false claim by the YouTuber.

"It's true, I have a daughter. The YouTube channel made me say that (false claim) forcibly," she said when asked why she earlier denied having a daughter.
