The woman at the center of a statewide mystery adding allegations to the Dharmasthala “mass burial” case, Sujatha Bhat, now identifies the missing girl Ananya Bhat as the daughter of a man named Aravind and Vimala Bhat, contradicting her own years of claims and adding a new layer of complexity to the SIT probe.

In a dramatic television interview that was telecast, on 22 August 2025, that has upended a major investigation, Sujatha Bhat, the woman who propelled the “missing Ananya Bhat” case into the public eye, has now declared that Ananya was never her daughter.

The revelation was made on Republic Kannada, where Bhat appeared for a highly anticipated interview. When asked by host Shobha Malavalli to clarify the truth about the case, Bhat delivered a bombshell statement.

“Ananya Bhat is not my daughter,” Sujatha Bhat stated unequivocally on air.

This assertion directly contradicts the narrative she has maintained right from the beginning of this controversy, in which she presented herself as the biological mother of Ananya Bhat, a girl she claimed went missing from Dharmasthala 22 years ago.

When pressed on the identity of the girl, Bhat identified a new figure in the mystery. “Ananya Bhat is the daughter of Aravind and Vimala Bhat,” she claimed, describing them as friends she met in Mangalore in 1985.

Bhat recounted a story of leaving her home due to unbearable torture and meeting Aravind and Vimala Bhat at a bus stand. “Aravind and Vimala saw me and asked why I was sitting there. I explained I’d left home. He took me to his house, kept me there for two days, and got me a job,” she told the host. She explained that she had left home because she could not bear the torture.

She said, “He took me to his house, kept me there for two days, and got me a job in another house, doing cooking and housework.”

It was during this time, she said, that she was introduced to a three-year-old girl. “Yes, there was a three-year-old girl named Ananya Bhat,” she confirmed, insisting the child was Aravind and Vimala’s daughter. “Yes, there was a three-year-old girl named Ananya Bhat. She was not my daughter. She was Aravind and Vimala Bhat’s only daughter,” Sujatha told the channel.
