gauri lankesh

Gauri Lankesh was a noted journalist, activist and editor of the weekly Gauri Lankesh Patrike. She was shot dead outside her residence in Rajarajeshwarinagar, west Bengaluru on September 5, 2017. She was standing near the gate of her house when three men on a motor bike sprayed her with bullets. The incident took place at around 8.25pm. Lankesh has been known for her strident stands against communalism in Karnataka. In 2016, she was convicted in a defamation case filed by MP Prahlad Joshi, who had objected to a report against BJP leaders.

The Special Investigation Team (SIT) in 2018 detained two suspects, who according to them were involved in the murders of Narendra Achyut Dabholka and Malleshappa Madivalappa Kalburgi as well. In June 2018, the SIT said that a man named Parashuram Waghmore confessed of the assassination: he claimed that he was told to kill someone to save his religion, and that he did not know who the victim was.
