Organizers of ‘Kondavaru Yaru-Who Killed Women in Dharmasthala?’ The campaign organized a ‘light the lamp for justice’ movement on Wednesday (October 22, 2025) demanding justice for the victims of the alleged mass burials in Dharmasthala.
In Bengaluru, around 40 people gathered near Hotel Janardhana in Gandhi Nagar demanding a fair investigation. Although the vigil was initially planned near the Majestic, the campaign was shifted to another location as the police refused to issue permission for the same.

According to the organizers, apart from Bengaluru, the campaign was held in several parts of the state including Bengaluru Rural (Anekal and Devanahalli), Kolar, Bellary, Bidar, Mysuru, BR Hills, Davangere, Nanjangud, Chamrajnagar and Vijayanagar among others.
Organizers will also launch a letter-writing campaign in November to further spread awareness of the campaign’s demands, which include empowering the SIT to conduct and complete a full and fair investigation. The month-long awareness campaign will conclude with a women’s convention on December 10, which is World Human Rights Day.
