Chinnaiah, they said, will be required to appear before investigators whenever summoned, and any violation of bail conditions could invite further legal action.Last month, the Special Investigation Team constituted to probe the allegations of multiple rapes, murders and burials in Dharmasthala, submitted a 3,900-page report to the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court in Belthangady under Section 215 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita naming six persons as accused, including Chinnaiah.
