Bengaluru, Sept 14: The Special Investigation Team (SIT), which has intensified its probe into the murder of journalist- activist Gauri Lankesh, questioned Indrajit Lankesh, younger brother of the victim in detail on Wednesday.
The questioning was based on the complaint Gauri had filed in 2005 accusing Indrajit of threatening her at gunpoint over a property dispute. Indrajit and Gauri had severe ideological differences too.
“We are trying to check the weapon Indrajit had and he is not cooperating with investigations," a senior police officer said. The 'non-cooperation' could be due to personal ego issues with Indrajit questioning how a brother can be quizzed over his own sister's death, which the police could understand. However, they need to question and record all statements of everybody concerned with her death before reaching any conclusions, the officer added.
Meanwhile, the police are waiting for the ballistic report about the firearm used to kill Gauri. The four bullets, of which one is fragmented, are with the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL), which is preparing a report which will take at least two weeks to be out, a senior official said.
