Sujata Bhat - the elderly Kannada woman who claimed her daughter went missing in Dharmasthala, a Karnataka village at the centre of a mass burial controversy involving sordid allegations of sexual abuse and murder - lied about her 'child', sources told NDTV Friday.
Sources said Sujata - whose second name is not Bhat, NDTV was also told - confessed to not having a daughter after two days of questioning. The police are now working out the next steps.
