Dharmasthala Lies Exposed: How the Myth of Ananya Bhat Unraveled with Fake College, Job Records

For over two decades, a shocking tale has circulated — a mother’s claim that her daughter, Ananya Bhat, went missing in Dharmasthala under the shadow of powerful forces. But the SIT investigation paints a very different picture. No medical college records, no CBI job files, no hospital admission logs — not even acquaintances recalling a daughter. Even the so-called grave evidence collapsed, with forensic tests confirming the remains were male. #Dharmasthala #DharmasthalaControversy #DharmasthalaSITProbe #Karnataka #HinduReligion #SocialMediaTruth #Heritage #BreakingNews #Dharmasthala #DharmasthalaControversy #SITInvestigation #KarnatakaNews #TruthVsPropaganda #IndianTemples #SouthIndiaNews

Rahul Gandhi Full Speech: Does Modi Have Courage to Call Trump a Liar? Op. Sindoor Debate

Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi has launched a sharp attack on PM Modi for avoiding a direct denial of Donald Trump's repeated claims that the U.S. mediated a ceasefire between India and Pakistan. Gandhi questioned why Modi refuses to name Trump in Parliament, hinting that silence could be tied to upcoming trade deals. Congress alleges that Trump’s claim has gone unchallenged 30 times. As tensions rise, Modi's restraint is fueling political backlash, with the Opposition claiming a cover-up and calling the PM’s silence a national concern. #RahulGandhi #Modi #Trump #IndiaPakistan #CeasefireClaim #TradeDeal #TrumpModi #CongressVsBJP #ModiSpeech #TrumpLies #LokSabha #PoliticalDrama #USIndiaRelations #ForeignMediation #ModiUnderFire #RahulVsModi #BreakingNews #Geopolitics #PMModi #RahulAttacksModi #IndiaPolitics #GlobalDiplomacy #TradePressure #ModiTrumpDeal #CongressAllegations #TrumpCeasefire #RahulPressMeet #ModiSpeechMissing #ParliamentDebate #CeasefireRow Also Read PM Modi Government Puts Tamil on the Global Map Like Never Before :: https://www.oneindia.com/temp/pm-modi-government-puts-tamil-nadu-on-the-global-map-like-never-before-7819081.html?ref=DMDesc Rahul Gandhi Doubles Down on Rigging Allegations, Says Election Process Is Over :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/rahul-gandhi-doubles-down-on-rigging-allegations-says-election-process-is-over-011-7818825.html?ref=DMDesc Government Reacts To Donald Trump's Statement, Scraps Reports Of Indian Oil Firms Halting Russian Imports :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/government-reacts-to-donald-trumps-statement-scraps-reports-of-indian-oil-firms-halting-russian-im-7818621.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.102~HT.408~
