Bengaluru, Jun 14: After the recent arrest of a prime suspects in the killing of journalist-activist Gauri Lankesh, the Special Investigating Team of the Karnataka Police has made headway in the case.

It is learnt that four teams had been formed to kill Gauri Lankesh. Each team comprised of two members and all teams had just one person as the main coordinator or handler. The teams worked for one year to carry out the plan.

The teams were assigned different tasks — from information gathering in the early stages to reconnoitre operations and intelligence gathering. “They were assigned tasks by the handler on a need-to-know basis. The fourth team carried out the hit,” said a source in the SIT.

On Thursday, the police interrogated both Amole Kale, 39, one of the accused in the case, and Parashuram Waghmore, 26, who was arrested earlier this week. Both men were questioned after Waghmore allegedly claimed that he had been tasked with carrying out the hit by Kale, who gave him a country-made pistol. “He claims that he returned the gun to Kale, but the men keep changing their statements,” said the SIT officer.

New Delhi, Jan 26: On the occasion of the 71st Republic Day, Karnataka state's tableau depicted the philosophy of Basaveshwara and the concept of Anubhava Mantapa (Centre for Experience), which was the socio-religious centre that existed in the present-day Basava Kalyana of Bidar district in Karnataka.

It is regarded as the first religious parliament in the history of mankind.

This 12th-century centre has a special significance in the history of humanity, as it represents composite culture, philosophy, spirituality, equality among other universal human values.

These values were propagated by the saint and social reformer- Basaveshwara and other sharanas- followers of Basava philosophy of the socio-religious movement.

It is significant that representatives of Anubhava Mantapa were nominated based on their spiritual attainment, regardless of caste, class and sect they belonged and thus discarded the differentiation of human beings as higher or lower, on the basis of birth, occupation and gender.

The front part of the tableau has the replica of Basaveshwara preaching his most cherished value - "Work is Worship".

For Republic Day Parade 2020, a total of 56 tableaux proposals (32 from states/UTs and 24 from Ministries/Departments) were received. Out of these, 22 were shortlisted for participation in the Republic Day Parade 2020.
