Hardly any progress by SIT in Gauri’s murder

At present enquiries by the 21-member Special Investigation team set up by the Karnataka government is in progress with no arrests made so far. It has also been revealed that the country made pistol used by the killers was similar to the one used to kill Kalburgi.

CCTV footage has also been examined by the SIT. Footage from Ms Lankesh’s home, has shown her being shot dead by a person in a helmet – but no number plate on the motorbike the person was riding is visible. The killer’s face is also not seen.

All the evidence points out the professionalism of the killers. Unless the investigation acquires a more inclusive nature and becomes larger, there may only be dead ends.With the passing of a fortnight since the killing, there is fear that it may also remain unsolved as in the case of the others.
