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

According to the organisers, apart from Bengaluru, the campaign was held in several parts of the state, including Bengaluru Rural (Anekal and Devanahalli), Kolar, Bellary, Bidar, Mysuru, B.R. Hills, Davangere, Nanjangud, Chamrajnagar and Vijayanagar among others.
