Bengaluru, Sep 10: Indira Lankesh, the mother of slain journalist-activist Gauri Lanakesh, says she has no faith in the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
“Let the state set up a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the case,” she told Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Friday. She met the chief minister to urge him to provide justice to her daughter by arresting her killers. She was accompanied by K S Vimala of the Janawadi Mahila Sanghatane.
Siddaramaiah responded positively and said the government was committed to conducting a fair investigation.
Congress president Sonia Gandhi has spoken to Siddaramaiah over the phone and sought details of the case and the progress in the investigation.
Gauri was shot at point blank at her house in Rajarajeshwari Nagar, West Bengaluru, on September 5.
Mangaluru, Jan 11: Reacting to the recent video clippings provided to the media by former chief minister HD Kumaraswamy in connection with the December 19 unrest in Mangaluru, city Police Commissioner Dr PS Harsha on Saturday said that the video has to be seen in a proper sequence to come to a conclusion on the happenings of that day.

Indira Lankesh's words are very serious and an eye opener to us. When premier agencies like CBI, NIA & Police Dept are used as a weapon to silence the oppressed, marginalised, minorities and to protect communal goons of one Political Party, naturally people lose faith in these institutions. This is the time for these institutions for introspection and act impartially before being considered as national Disgrace by the general public.
